• Develop a plan for future success

Building on the success of the previous two editions, the fully-updated 3ed Edition of Building Your Nursing Career will serve as a valuable aid to any nursing student, no matter if they are just entering school or are close to graduating.

A great review by Kathryn Hyndman, a Nursing Instructor from Brandon University:

"This inexpensive text is used from year one to fourth year...The self-assessment and reality check are great for preparing the students and compiling the work they've done in the program. When students interview, I get phone calls and rave reviews on the students because they are interviewing so well. Students are being offered jobs six weeks into senior practicum! Students have said this book is the most valuable book to have!"
