In this book, the author shares some of the common struggles a new nurse might go through or rather what struggles the author went through as a new nurse. She provides advice for new nurses to avoid those common "new nurse" mistakes by sharing what she has learned in her nursing career. I definitely recommend this quick read to someone in 2nd year of nursing school or a new graduate.
