Recenzii
"This is the definitive guide for those considering nursing and midwifery as a career and a must-have book for the careers section in every sixth form and college library." - Nursing Standard
"I am very impressed. The overall feeling I got when reading the book was that I was having a very informative chat with healthcare professionals. There is a great deal of information from nurses and midwives and you get a great deal of insight into the profession, the NMC and the NHS. [...] I was very impressed with how Sarah Snow managed to juggle the sometimes difficult reality of training whilst being encouraging and optimistic. [...] There are probably many books on how to apply for nursing courses and the UCAS selection process but if you want inside information on what the nursing/midwifery training is about, this is a must read." - AC Silva, Nursing Student
