Description
This bestselling issues and trends textbook gives you a broad understanding of the problems and opportunities you will face as you make the transition from student to practicing nurse.

This new edition includes two new chapters on Emergency Preparedness and Building Nursing Management Skills plus numerous chapters that have been updated with the most relevant topics necessary for today's nursing student.
