“This book is great! The style of writing is easy to read and a first year student could easily read this without becoming confused by long words and unfamiliar terminology. The book includes lots of features that are useful for exam revision – including tips, calculations, multiple choice questions and learning points. A must have textbook for all nursing students.”
