-- Thomas Currid * Email *Who would have thought the second edition of Essentials of Mental Health Nursing could better the original? Chock full of excellent case studies, infused even more with the voice of those with lived experience, and highly interactive. The book really gets to the nub of what is essential in mental health nursing and will appeal to students and registered nurses alike. Beg, steal, or borrow a copy, you won’t be disappointed!

Students were encouraged to refer to the book with some of the students getting themselves copies from the school′s library. -- Mr Ebenezer Asamoah * drupal *
