This book is designed to help nursing students in their understanding of the role of the nurse and what it takes to successfully become a confident novice caregiver. It fills a gap in introductory nursing titles in that it welcomes the student into practice while providing realistic views of the complexities of the role.

Highlights of This Text:

Uniquely focuses on creating confidence by evaluating the process of becoming a nurse who tends to their self-care and adheres to a safe, error-reduced practice of excellence.
Describes the four core domains of the profession; nurse, environment, client, and health and how social, political, economic and climate change impacts the delivery of care.
Explores how the AACN threads (DEI, cultural sensitivity, social determinants of health, communication, ethics, clinical judgement, and mental health) intersect with the delivery of quality nursing care.

Each chapter has been carefully selected and crafted to provide a student or new nurse with information spanning the history of nursing, the theoretical frameworks of nursing, communication practices through role development, licensure acquisition and specialty practice areas. This text is chock-full of material that provides realistic stories, patient care examples, ethical dilemmas, physical and emotional challenges, and the rewards of care across the life span.
