Hello! Is there such book?

Maybe look through an NCLEX prep book.

Nurses go through many books while training so there is no one book that will "make" you a nurse.

Hello my fellow nurses! I wanted to know is there a book of training for nurses? Is there such book? I really want to be good and I want to know what to do when such problem or situation occurs! I want to be ahead and prepare in my class and help others as well. So what do you think?

"My fellow nurses?" So you're a nurse now? You passed the NCLEX and are licensed?

There are thousands of books on nursing. There is not just one single Bible of Nursing. There are THOUSANDS of books. Which specifically are you asking about?

When WHAT problem or situation occurs?

What class are you talking about?

Please provide more specifics in clear and grammatically correct English. Thanks.

Few pearls of wisdom:

1. "Nurse" is a protected title; don't call yourself a nurse unless you are a licensed nurse, ie, LPN, RN, NP.

2. Nurses prefer specifics and clarity to elicit assistance.

3. Nurses and members of the healthcare team....not to mention PATIENTS, also prefer directness; the better the directness, the more effective the nurse.

Previous poster wasn't being "mean" per say; the poster needs more information, and prefers to read information in a more "professional" format; AN is a professional site; it is highly encouraged to submit posts in a certain format that is more professional in nature per terms...this is NOT saying that you are not professional either; it is giving you the WHY, in what realm you are stepping into this site...the poster may be your future professor, employer, boss...keep that in mind.

Not sure what "tone" you read into, but the answer was similar to another poster, just an original response.

Welcome to the real world of nursing...you will see both "tones"...time to get "prepared" to approach each one as best as possible. You will come across personalities in this profession, especially from your patients that you will must learn to respond to appropriately and effectively.

I will answer you question in a different way: Nursing school is like boot camp...you learn more as a nurse, but how you handle and effectively be prepared to learn and build on your practice prepare you for the real healthcare world. It certainly is not hearts, rainbows, stars, glitter, etc. you are dealing with lives, and take heed on "rationales" as well as learning to effectively advocate for yourself and patients for you best chance at success as a nurse.

Sending positive vibes on your success. :)

Thank you miss. But I think you guys got me wrong. I didn't call myself a nurse. I only said that as a friendly way. I apologize.

I know you didn't... words are conveyed and interpreted and have a perception...clarity is key. No worries; I'm sure you will get additional advice. :)

If you are in a class, try getting a book specific to that class. I found it helpful to get a general "Nursing Care Plan" book. It covered most disease processes from assessments to care plans. It was very helpful but it cannot replace your ability to actually assess a patient but it can help you know what to look for and how to evaluate the care you are giving. Hope that helps you.
