Hot to Survive and Maybe Even Love Your First Year as a Nurse

Writing in a light-hearted style, Dunham (Drexel University) and Smith (Graduate Hospital, Philadelphia) take new nurses from graduation through the first nursing job and into a fulfilling nursing career. They help readers face issues such as diversity in the workplace, and provide worksheets and tools for comparing job offers, handling difficult patients and supervisors, and coping with stress. Anecdotes from nurses and new graduates remind readers that they are not alone. Each chapter ends with an annotated list of print and Web resources.
