Reviews
All in all, this is a really good read, it's really helpful and useful to student nurses and qualified nurses out there that struggle with terminology and how to pronounce things. This is a life-saver. It's quite small as well so it will fit into a small backpack or handbag, if you're taking it to uni, onto wards or out in the community.
