From reviews: "...This book reads like you've got the loveliest mentor you've ever had holding your hand through the transition from student nurse to qualified nurse. Just reading it made me feel calmer and better prepared about my imminent start. In my opinion Carol Forde-Johnston's book is the best transition book I've read." Sharon Sanford, STaR Project "This book discusses the wide scope of learning in your initial time as a newly qualified nurse and how you can develop into a more confident and established professional; from securing your first nursing post to structured planning for your learning and development in the early stages of your career. [It] is a great purchase for those wanting to hone their skills as an NQN, I found it to have answered many of the questions I was unsure of when qualifying. This book overall helps you to align your career aspiration, relevant skills and qualifications you might want to consider planning early on in your career." Diary of a Chief Nurse Junior Fellow blog, August 2019 Here's what some of our student and NQN reviewers said: "The writing style and tone of voice is just right, it reads as though I'm having a conversation with a knowledgeable, trusted friend." "I noticed that it answered many of the questions I was always embarrassed to ask as I thought I should have already known those things." "I have wanted a book that covers the information provided in this book and have been unable to find one. I think this book will be an incredibly useful resource." Drawing on her 30 years' experience as a Registered Nurse and University Lecturer Practitioner, Carol Forde-Johnston has written an accessible and practical book that aims to respond to the questions and concerns that her students and NQNs frequently raise - and to help you thrive as a newly qualified nurse.
