I read "On death and Dying" by Elizabeth Kubler Ross. It describes the grieving process, which I found to be incredibly helpful. In your clinicals, and throughout nursing profession you will see people in every phase of the grieving process. And not just grieving death, with illness there is a lot of grieving the life they used to have and don't now because of illness. It won't help you to pass nursing school though, that takes solely hard work and dedication. Good luck!!!
