  For courses in College Success, pre-Nursing and intro-Nursing.

   

  Pre nursing students may not have a good idea of what nursing is-as a profession-and what the major issues the profession faces today.  Keys to Nursing Success is designed to promote a realistic understanding of nursing, explore the exceptional opportunities nursing careers offer, and help students prepare for the rigors of nursing school.  This revision introduces a framework that has been proven to improve student learning and achievement.  Using the theory of Successful Intelligence, developed by psychologist Robert Sternberg, this book helps students prepare both academically and personally for applying to and succeeding in nursing school.  Katz provides updated statistics on nursing salaries and demographics.  No other book provides this information on a career in nursing and help students learn how to learn through study strategies.

She is active in advancing the profession of nursing and its mission of disease prevention, health promotion, and health care advocacy for individuals, families, and communities, both locally and globally. After several careers that include work as a family-planning counselor in central Massachusetts; research assistant at the University of Washington in Seattle; horseshoer in Palouse, WA; and stage technician at Washington State University, she became a registered nurse. She lives in Spokane, WA, with her husband, who teaches biology, and their two dogs.

Carol Carter is president of LifeBound, Seminars and Coaching for High School Students, College Students, and Graduates. She is the author or co-author of 17 books on college, career, and life success, including Majoring in the Rest of Your Life: Success Strategies for Students, Majoring in High School, The Career Tool Kit, Keys to Career Success, Keys to Effective Learning, and Keys to Success. In 1992, Carol and other businesspeople cofounded a nonprofit organization called LifeSkills, Inc., to help high school students explore their goals, their career options, and the real world through part-time employment and internships. Her syndicated column, Hire Education, appears in newspapers around the country.

Joyce Bishop holds a PhD in psychology and has taught for more than 20 years, receiving a number of honors, including Teacher of the Year.

She coauthored The Career Tool Kit, Keys to Study Skills, and the first edition of Keys to Success and has served as program director for LifeSkills, Inc., a nonprofit organization that aims to further the career and personal development of high school students.

Nursing is the largest health occupation in the world and with the current shortage, qualified nurses are more in demand than ever. Keys to Nursing Success is designed to promote a realistic understanding of nursing, explore the exceptional opportunities nursing careers offer, and help students prepare for the rigors of nursing school. Emphasis is placed on how to study the sciences, how to develop critical thinking skills, and the importance of liberal arts courses in building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
