No matter how hard you've studied, stepping into that first nursing job is unlike anything you've ever experienced. For students and recent graduates looking to conquer the challenging transition from stressed-out student to nursing professional, Kati Kleber's got you covered.
Acclaimed blogger and author of Becoming Nursey, Kati expands on her guide for new nurses with this revised edition, Anatomy of a Super Nurse. She provides real-world advice on surviving nursing school and thriving in your first nursing job. Using personal experiences, Kati dives deep into that pivotal first year and answers questions that all new nurses have, but don't always think to ask. You'll learn to master practical topics such as how to give and receive a good, concise report and what to do in a code. Plus, you'll find tips on time management, stepping into a leadership role, and best practices for sleeping when you're on the night shift.
Armed with tons of information - and lots of laughs - Anatomy of a Super Nurse shines light onto the dark spots in a nurse's first year, equipping you with everything you need to become a successful bedside nurse.
