An expert guide to the complex, yet vital transition from student to employed nursing practitioner

The transition from nursing school graduate to professional nursing practitioner can be stressful and confusing. Unlike educational programs, life doesn’t provide a set syllabus.

Filled with expert advice, illuminating examples, and essential information, this important resource provides a framework to help you complete the transition to nurse practitioner with confidence.
