TRANSITIONS IN NURSING: PREPARING
FOR PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE is an important book for undergraduate nurses and recent graduates as they move from student nurse to graduate
nurse. As with the 1st edition, this book has been written by a breadth of academics and clinical nurse practitioners. It deals with
all the professional issues nursing students need to consider as they prepare to move from university to the workplace of the graduate
nurse. Among the many topics, the book deals with issues involving transition from student to practicing nurse, the Australian health
care system, organisational structure, workplace culture, professional nursing development, applying for jobs, reflective practice, clinical
governance and occupational health and safety. With an ever increasing focus on professional issues in nursing, this is an outstanding
and valuable book that will help educate and prepare nurses for practice. It will be of great use to senior undergraduate nurses, newly
registered nurses, nurses in management and leadership positions and nurse educators in both tertiary and clinical sectors.
