A reader: "This book was completely amazing. Fun to read, extremely informative, lots of information about not only beginning nursing school but getting through until the end! Lots of great quotes, tons of resources (some chapters have a couple dozen helpful websites listed!)and information I use every day.
Not only the most helpful book I've read about nursing school, but also the best career guide in general I've seen!
