Let me first say that I suffer from ADD (attention deficit disorder) and it only interferes when studying or reading. Also, I am not the type of person who likes to read books on my spare time. I only read if I have to; school, research etc.I am a new graduate and recently got my RN license. Of course my nerves kicked in and I was searching for a book to help me keep calm and give pointers as a new nurse. The minute it came in I read half the book in about one hour..SHOCKING! She got straight to the point and it felt as if she was talking to me. She goes over so many topics, from interviews, to giving report, reading labs, approaching Drs, dealing with complaints, deaths and so-forth. What kept my interest is that she gives you plenty of examples, stories and even tells you her mistakes that she made.As a new nurse, we all feel like we don't know crap. I was even questioning myself, wondering if I had chose the right career. By the time I was done with this book, I learned that all of my fears are the exact same fears that every new nurse has. Even she had those same fears and she talks about them as well. She gave me confidence and with the tips that she gives you, I can honestly say that I might even impress my preceptor on my first day.This book is a MUST HAVE! I can't say how much she has help me and eased my nerves! You have to just find out for yourself! Oh, she also leaves her email, for you to contact if you have any questions. I sent her one but was'nt expecting a reply until a few months later....wrong! She replied with in a few days. She also has a great YouTube channel: EmpoweRN :)
I loved watching empoweRN on Youtube. Caroline's videos truly help nursing students with topics that they are curious on or maybe too scared to ask. I did not read her first book because I received my BSN from an accelerated nursing program and I knew a lot already on how to be a successful student and what I was getting myself into. This book is great because it discusses Caroline's recollections of applying for 100's of jobs, getting the hang of how to successfully interview, and advice on what to do once you get a job. She discusses her mistakes and how she learned from them, always asking for help, and how to establish a solid work routine. Now that I have successfully interviewed and received and accepted a job offer, I will DEFINITELY be referring back to this book in times of need, which as a new graduate will be often. I can't say enough good things about Caroline. She is very warm and friendly, ALWAYS willing to help, and she is very quick to respond to her e-mails. She personally gave me advice while I was struggling to decide between two job offers and the advice she gave was solid! I highly recommend this book, especially for those new grads like me who have are just starting their careers and this is their first grown up job.
This book is great for the graduate nurse but I am reading it as a student still in my prerequisite classes! It gives me a taste of what's to come and gets me thinking like a nurse! Thanks, Caroline! :-)
This book is full of very helpful tips and nuggets for a newly graduated nurse. She writes in a very pleasant, uplifting manner and provides valuable information about job searching, interviewing, etc. The bulk of the book, though refers to new nursing, after one lands the job. These chapters are invaluable - She covers so many subjects to help a new nurse survive those first few months - how to go about organizing and how to maintain a great, positive attitude. Terrific!
I loved it because it is easy to read, conversational, and filled with great tips and bits of encouragement. As new grad RNs, we need all the help we can get, and Caroline's book is so uplifting and gives you the tools to be a really great nurse. I especially loved her tips about picking scrubs w/ identical pockets so you always keep organized throughout each day!
An amazing book of inspiration based on Caroline's experiences. I learned so much from this book, and felt very prepared for my first day of work. If you want guidance for everything from getting a job, to being prepared for it, make sure to read this book! I also love the fact that she makes herself available to interact with readers and viewers of her youtube videos. She is a true inspiration and a great example of a real nurse.
I love this book!!! It is very empowering and reinforcing. I became a nurse because I want to make a difference into someone's life. This book reminded me to continue to be compassionateAnd love nursing. Thank you Caroline!!
loved it i mean. I am a registered nurse now so I could say that this helped me get there. She is truly inspirational because she is one nurse who recognized that the rest of us need help and guidance and she was not afraid to go out and write a book about it. I for one appreciate her :)
