See what nurses are saying about Brand New Nurse: ★★★★★ "The first book you should pick up after passing the NCLEX. Great tips, advice, and general knowledge for all new nurses." Kimberly Trumbull, RN, BSN ★★★★★ "As an experienced ER nurse, I tip my hat. Experienced nurses often go through the motions of their shifts and we tend to forget all the small details that were involved in the job when we first started out. This book took me back to all of those early moments as a nurse and the things I wish someone told me about before I started out. This book should be sold on all the shelves in scrub shop stores. It is the perfect easy read guide for any new nurse." Courtney Schell, RN, BSN ★★★★★ "A phenomenal resource for new nurses! Filled with good advice and relatable humor that our profession is known for. A highly recommended buy for the new nurses in your life. If you’re buying it for yourself–welcome to the profession, we are so happy to have you!" Ashley Spitzer, MSN, APN, CRNP, FNP-BC, EMT ★★★★★ "The yellow brick road to your first days as a new-to-practice nurse! Brilliant examples of lessons to learn and questions to ask can be found swirling within its pages…it will even tell you how to find the right nursing footwear, the equivalent to your ruby slippers! Afterall, it’s not where you go that matters but rather who you meet along the way. This book is a must-read, will make you laugh, cry, and learn with certainty there is no place like home (for quality sleep!)" Michelle Lasota, BSN, RN, CHPN ★★★★★ "A definite win for new nursing grads full of inside information, guidance, and reassurance coming from the best source there is: an experienced nurse!"
