" I think the content and material is excellent it
includes relevant material and some extra without material
overload! I think the size is perfect, it's handy and
manageable not too heavy and it fits in my handbag which is always
a bonus! I will definitely be making recommendations to my friends
and will maybe even suggest it to some of my lecturers to see what
they think (to consider it as a reading list recommendation). I
look forward to the next edition!" (2nd
year nursing student, University of Ulster)

"I cannot fault the content- it is straight to
the point, it provides some interesting resources for a student
nurse that is essential for them to know, as well as some things
which may not be essential but may be interesting - such as
the history of nursing, which was completely new to me and a joy to
read." (2nd year nursing student, Keele
University)

"It's been designed for students and
that's why I like it.Its layout is fantastic, very clear and
a lot of literature to back up research. Each chapter is detailed
which I cannot fault.It's student friendly, useful, easy to
read." (2nd year nursing student, Swansea
