Nursing is my second degree and my RN program was an accelerated one that lasted only 10 months. I did not have years to assimilate into the nursing culture. This book has helpful hints and advice on how to network to find a job, communicate with physicians/co-workers, and survive your first year. Basically, this book provides us with info that some of our mentors just didn't know how or want to say! The mini personal stories throughout the chapters are helpful in that they allow the readers to visualize themselves as that new graduate on the job, enabling us to be prepared for what's to come! Most importantly, the book focuses on how to be a goal-oriented and proactive new grad. A must-read for any new nursing student, new graduate, and especially a second degree nurse!

People may find some useful tips here, but I found this book depressing. The author bends over backwards to present a "positive" picture of nursing work and trashes the "negative" stories going around. But denying new nurses an accurate account of what it means to work in today's under staffed hospitals and telling them to have a positive attitude doesn't prepare them for the reality of today's workplace. If the workplace is profoundly dysfunctional we need to change the workplace. For example, we need to have zero tolerance for nurse on nurse bullying -- not pretend it doesn't exist. Throwing new nurses into these harsh environments with nothing but a positive attitudes prepares them to fail.
