This is a must read for all children and young people's nurses. (Nursing Children and Young People, 1 February 2012) “This book provides essential knowledge and good examples of care planning scenarios in clinical practice that would be useful for undergraduate nursing student and registered children's nurse alike. Laura Camps, Staff Nurse “I really like the look and feel of this book, it's not too large or heavy so can be carried round easier than some of the bigger texts on care planning…The level is just right for someone learning care planning. Its style of writing isn't patronizing, and it is an interesting read. Emma Scragg, 3rd year child nursing student, Salford University “A very useful and important book which should be used from year 1 as it is relevant to many things which I have already done whilst on placement… It is easy to follow, understandable and clear. It is eye-catching and colourful and covers several important topics specific to children i.e. Safeguarding. Amy Warburton, 1st year child nursing student, University of Nottingham The style of the book is clear and gives good examples to illustrate each aspect of care. The level is appropriate for a student nurse and is a great foundation for nursing care. Clare Allberry, 3rd year nursing student, University of Nottingham A useful book, well set out and relevant content. It was easy to read and I'm sure many other nursing students will think so too. Bianca Hansen, 2nd year nursing student, University of Nottingham
