About ElizabethRadisson
This is a great guide for ANYONE considering nursing as a first career, second career or those continuing their nursing education! A dozen or more former students give real world advice, testimony and share their experiences breaking the ice for readers with important questions.
At the end of each chapter readers are invited to reflect on the content, their own ideas about nursing, and to “rehearse” their ideas and scripts for exploring this profession.
I highly recommend this book to high school guidance counselors, college admission counselors and continuing education directors!
This book is an eye-opener on how to write an essay. In the past, I just pick up my pen and write and probably read through once or twice. This book shows the importance of making drafts, reading through a couple of times and even reading it to somebody. I usually take for granted the reference/letters of recommendation aspect of my application . Now I know better. I applied to a couple of nursing schools and was unsuccessful in getting in. The essay, and reference part of the book, contributed immensely towards getting me into my current nursing program and particularly prepared me for what lies ahead in my nursing career. I strongly recommend that prospective applicants read this book before applying to any nursing program and other related programs.

a true student companion
This book is a true student companion. It’s a powerful and wonderful book with a wealth of information that every nurse and prospective nursing student must have and read.
I have been debating whether to go back to school for nursing for a while now and this book has really helped me. It gives the reader insightful knowledge into the world of nursing through the experience of actual nurses who have been there and understand what it is like. I had a feeling that nursing school would be hard but hearing the insights from actual students helps me channel the information and realize the focus that is necessary to really make it in this career. Over all I would reccommend this book to anyone considering going into this field. The insider information provided should really help you understand if this is for you or not.
