The book serves as a vital tool for new graduates entering the workforce, offers refreshers for experienced nurses, and provides families with insight into the world of nursing as they care for loved ones facing health challenges.

It equips new nurses with strategies to enter the workforce confidently while giving experienced nurses a practical guide to refresh best practices. The book also opens the door for patients and families to better understand the dedication and expertise behind the care they receive from nursing professionals.
'Better-prepared nurses mean better outcomes for everyone,' said Lorraine Voltaire. 'This book is not only about helping nurses excel in their practice, but it also empowers the public to see and understand the vital role nurses play in the healthcare system.'
