Summary:

"In Self-Care for New and Student Nurses, the authors emphasize that waiting until a crisis to take time for self-care is too late. Students, new nurses, and nurses in all stages of their careers should learn a variety of self-care practices and find the ones that work specifically for them individually. Each section of Self-Care for New and Student Nurses focuses on different aspects of self-care, such as how to be aware of stressors and how to develop a resilient mindset; self-care for underrepresented nursing professionals; spirituality; building healthy working relationships; integrating work and life; and more." -- Publisher's description.
