Rezensionen

"All in all I think these books are great for students and newly qualified nurses and I think that Care Skills would probably be extremely useful for HCAs and APs too." (A Nurse's Notes, 30 January 2014)

"All in all, a really handy book to have that you can refer back to at any stage of your course to help you out with any aspect of drug administration." (The Student Nurse, 1 January 2014)

"Receiving this book just before starting my first placement has been particularly helpful, and it has, as it promised to do, increased my confidence and competence in clinical practice. The fact that it provides advice based on student-nurse knowledge and reflects NMC standards assures me that the information given is appropriate but essential and detailed. It'll be a great help to glance over at any stage of the course and will be a much-loved book of mine, I'm sure!." (Nursepraylove, 23 January 2014)
