It is simple to follow and covers the basics of good mentoring skills. The activities and case studies provoke thoughts and reflections. The book lacks in depth detail and explanations and so may be less useful to more experienced mentors '. -- Linda Chapman ...This will be a useful tool for all nurses aiming to be mentors to student nurses.
