We say it over and over again that nurses can''t care for others if they don''t care for themselves. Offering nurses tried and proven ways of doing the self-care they need is another matter altogether. This book does just that and I have no doubt will be the go-to book for nurses and those who train them for many years to come.
—Michael Rosen, poet, author, broadcaster
