"?meets the needs of novice nurses who need to be guided through the often puzzling topic of professional values. ?It has great potential to engage student nurses and new nurses on a topic that may not otherwise hold their interest as much as other areas of nursing. It may well become a book that they keep on their shelves for many years."-Martha Scheckel, PhD, RN, Winona State University, Minnesota, USA
