Reviews
With the growth of technology and the rapid uptake of digital innovations in healthcare, it is only logical for us as student nurses to become familiar with and proficient in digital skills. This book, perfectly summarises the importance of the digital world, how it supports nursing practice, its potential and how we as professionals, can use it safely and effectively. I think it is an essential asset to every student nurses bookshelf! -- Karolina Staniecka, @karolinaviolet, student nurse
