This useful and contemporary book will support mentors in their day-to-day work.
` The book is an easy reference book and suitable for pre-registered nurse mentors or those becoming a mentor. 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 `.
