A great book for experienced nurses or folks like me, who are just starting in the profession. Annette Vallano’s book answered questions about nursing I wouldn’t have even known to ask. I’m changing careers after twenty-five years as a teacher, and this workbook/resource book contained the best career advice I could have received. It gives a realistic, honest, nuts and bolts picture of what nursing is like today, both the good and the bad. I have a head start in how to be assertive and pro-active in finding and creating the nursing position that will suit my skills, interests and life-style. I also understand some of the work related pitfalls can happen and how to avoid them. Finally, the book has a heart and soul that gives meaning and importance to the unique abilities we each have to offer in our work as a nurse.
The book, Your Career in Nursing, is a wealth of information for new graduates, nurse educators, and the seasoned nurse. This book is a guide for developing a positive and rewarding future in nursing. Your Career in Nursing provides the new graduate with realistice guidelines for choosing which career path to take and gives them strategies to use when difficult situations occur. The book furnishes the seasoned nurse with a marketing plan for themselves if they are attempting to make changes in their career. It gives the nurse educator strategies with helping the diverse population of nursing students, tools for dealing with managing stress, and provides the educator with resources for staying on top of the ever changing world of nursing. Your Career in Nursing is a pragmatic book which provides current approaches and resources for the twenty-first century nurse.
I used this book for one of my nursing classes, but it really isn’t just for nurses, this book can be read and used by all different people from all professions. It helps for you to find the real you lying underneath the flesh and bone of your body.
I highly recommend this book.
