About this title

Review

"Conclusion: The book addresses mainly nursing students who have been out of academic learning for a while. It might lead, however, down paths of thinking for the accomplished scholar toward new directions, and also to closer links between historical research and modern nursing. Therefore I recommend the book for nursing faculties, hospital staff libraries and students doing a Master's thesis." (European Association for the History of Nursing, 1 March 2013)

"The use of the scenarios through each chapter and section and the bonus chapters and resources available through the books online content are useful. It has a concise and informative glossary and the index is easy to navigate. I can't find any limitations. This book could be a saviour when you are on the study rollercoaster." (Nursing Times, 4 July 2013)

"The book is organised in a logical way, with an excellent companion website." (Nursing Standard, 1 April 2013)
