a must-have! - By: rebaby, 23 Oct 2007 
This books is definitely a must-have for those who are about to, or have just started their nurse training.
I unfortunately didn't get mine until i was already half way through the course, & although it has still been handy to dip into at times, i think it would have been much more beneficial to myself if i had bought it sooner.
So if you are about to become a student nurse, or are in your 1st year i would highly recommend it- it is worth every penny :)
Excellent ! - By: Mr. E. Gregory, 13 Jul 2007 
Although I am no novice to Health care, as I have worked in the industry as a HCA for some time. However, I will be commencing Nurse training this year.
I was sceptical at first about purchasing this book & thought that I would not need it. Hey, I was wrong & the book has confirmed to me that you can never have too much knowledge.
This wonderful book has given me confidence & has also taught me never to become too complacent, even at the best of times.
I would recommend this book to anyone anticipating on becoming a Nurse.
Helps in all sorts of ways - By: Kymberley J. Hall, 08 Feb 2007 I have found this book not only to be invaluable in my first year but also funny in parts. The section on reflective learning reallly helped me understand the reflective models & it was referenced in my assignent. It's a great handbook to keep in you uni bag!!
The Student Nurse Handbook - By: Ms. S. Sharp, 23 Oct 2006 
I bought this book after seeing the rave reviews on Amazon & was disappointed to find out that it did not meet my expectations. I have been a health care worker for some years & have recently been seconded to do my degree in Mental Health Nursing. Whilst I can see how helpful it would be for someone starting nursing studies who has had no clinical experience, if you have worked as a health care worker for even a short period, most of this stuff will be old news to you. Or common sense. I would say that if you have had no previous experience, then buy this book - it will give you some invaluable advice, to the rest of you however, I would say give it a miss.
The Student Nurse Handbook: A Survival Guide - By: lesley.k, 18 Oct 2006 This book has & is an invaluable learning tool & guide to help you through those early weeks / months, when you first set out.It gives a relevant & sometimes light hearted content , which is reallly helpful when you don,t understand a concept / theory. I would purchase this book before commencing this career pathway, as it gives such good insight into a tough profession.I have read it cover to cover, & use it often to re-establish my thinking, & I have also used some of the suggestive reading material.Overalll I reallly recommend this book.
