Here's what some reviewers said:
"This book reads like you've got the loveliest mentor you've ever had holding your hand through the transition from student nurse to registered 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."
"This book is well written and very helpful. I recommend it to all our preceptees and they are all grateful to the author for such a wonderful book. One of my preceptees called it a 'manual for all new nurses'."
"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."

Drawing on over 34 years' experience supporting students and newly registered nurses, Carol Forde-Johnston has written an accessible and practical book that aims to respond to the questions and concerns that her students and NRNs frequently raise and to help you thrive as a newly registered nurse.
