Überlebensbuch Pflege

In nursing practice, finding your footing and your own path! Why do many newly trained and well-educated nursing professionals leave the profession within their first year? What facilitates or hinders the successful transition from education and study to nursing practice? Canadian nursing expert and researcher Judy Duchscher explored the first year of professional nursing for over twelve years. Her findings from interviews with newcomers explain how they experience the transition and provide methods and tools to support young colleagues. Thus, the book serves as a valuable guide for nursing professionals, nursing educators, and nursing leaders.
