Reviews

"An excellent introduction to medicines management for qualified and student nurses alike. The structure and use of activities will be appealing to students wishing to test their knowledge. It gives the opportunity to dip in and out of the text which is useful for nurses with limited study time as they can keep up to date on this fundamental element of Nursing Practice" - Dr Dianne Bowskill, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy, University of Nottingham

"I found the user-friendly style of the book will make it appealing to students. I also like the scenario situations as these serve to enhance the student's ability to apply learning. Excellent references and glossary." - Professor Mari Barnes, Department of Nursing & Midwifery, Kings College, London

"A book that can be of value to undergraduate student nurses during years 1, 2 and 3 of the professional education. I feel it clearly set out and easy to follow and as such will be likely to make a positive contribution to the professional development. [...] A nice book, easy to follow and good/useful exercises to do. Most useful for student nurses." - Paul Elliott, Department of Nursing & Midwifery, Canterbury Christ Church University

"A good all round text" - Professor Sian Jones, Department of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Glamorgan

"A useful book that does what it says on the cover impeccably well. It's small enough to not be imposing, but big enough to concisely cover more than just the basics of medicines management. Medicines management can often be looked at ominously by nursing students as a painfully dry subject area; this book is interesting enough to ease the sting." - Sarah McGlen, Nursing Student

"Written for nursing students by Sheri Ogston-Tuck, who previously taught nursing students, the 6 chapters contain interactive sections to enhance learning, which add a personal touch to this book. This is appropriately written and ensures that it adequately supports students in their undergraduate training. [...] Ultimately, this book extensively covers contemporary nursing issues and provides the potential to be a personal book that can follow a nursing student through to their transition into a registered nurse. A book that I would say is worth having somewhere amongst other nursing titles in a student nurse fs book shelf." - Tianna Jarrett-Williams, Nursing Student
