Nurses today need a dictionary designed specifically for their needs. Churchill Livingstone, in collaboration with the Royal College of Nursing, has prepared an up-to-date, contemporary dictionary suitable for all nurses - student and qualified. Key features: New entries on all aspects of nursing care and practice, from primary nursing to complementary therapies; boxes providing expanded information on subjects like clinical supervision, ethics and reflective practice; detailed appendices, including useful addresses, abbreviations, writing a CV and organizations offering grants and scholarships; a more convenient, slimmer size with a hardwearing, washable cover. The Dictionary of Nursing should be the first-choice pocket reference book for every nurse.
