Reviews / Votes
Great for anyone starting out on a nursing career'The book is very easy to understand, is methodical in its delivery and relates it throughout to a case study giving the reader a good idea how the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care can be applied in practice... I will certainly be recommending this not only for the nursing associates that I tutor but for anyone who is embarking on a career in health and social care as it will make the transition a little easier and enable them to take this forward in their practice.'
