An absolute must for the student nurseMarch 28, 2001 51 out of 52 found this review helpful
Psychology for Nurses and the Caring Profession is a must for the student nurses out there. It puts things in easy to read format and is not just reems and reems of text, as I have discovered so many other psychology text books. Each subject is broken down into foolproof language and there are exercises to do throughout the chapters.
This is the only book I have found which is totally dedicated to the nursing student. It deals with the basics, such as what is psychology and also how it relates to health. It has good chapters on understanding health and illness along with self concept and body image and perception. Having just started the Common Foundation Program on the way to qualifying as a Registered Nurse, I found this book to be ideal in every aspect of the course so far.
If you have never done psychology before and are starting out as a medical student, I cannot recommend this book enough.
