description: Real Advice And Stories From Real Nurses A moving and often hilarious collection of nurses reflections on their incredible profession created by asking an amazing selection of nurses 'If you could go back and give your younger self once piece of advice about nursing, what would it be?' Author Allie Wilson is a Registered Nurse who burnt out herself, so she understands how nurses and nursing students often need a dose of inspiration. She says 'I gathered together a book full of all the advice I wish I'd had when it all got too much for me. I interviewed over 200 nurses, from all backgrounds and from all over the world, and the result is the perfect book to give to the nurse in your life - or yourself! This book is perfect for nurses  Nurses give so much to patients but who looks after them? I think it's time someone thought about caring for the carers themselves. And who better than a bunch of wonderful nurses? Nurses are always busy Sadly the average nurse or student nurse rarely has time to sit down with a nice, quiet cuppa (or a glass of red!) and read anything, let alone books on nursing. So this book is full of amazing people giving short, powerful quotes that full of nursing fundamentals &amp; skills that will inspire, touch your heart and often make you laugh out loud. Nurses are often incredibly tired My book is profound and moving, but also funny and easy to read. Next to the advice each nurse would give to their younger selves, there is a photo of them in their younger days - complete with the early nursing uniform with mandatory cape, gloves and 'flying nun' hats. This makes the book really fun to dip into when you need for a boost. It's advice on nursing made incredibly easy to read.
