Description
Book SynopsisSurvive academic study with this snappy guide to research techniques and strategies for all student nurses.
Trade Review“I would recommend this book and also this series of books to student nurses at any point of their training. I have found it an invaluable book which does not blind you with too much information in one go, a pit stop book well worth investing in. I keep a copy in my bag when ever I am on placement.” (Nursing Times, 16 December 2014)
