Читать книгу Calculation Skills for Nurses - Claire Boyd - Страница 8

I, along with the publishers, would particularly like to thank all the nursing students who helped develop this book into what it is. Also, to the group of overseas nurses I met this year who told me that this series of books was on their reading list and they particularly liked the humour in it – thank you. Also, the student nurses who gave direction on what they also wanted included in this book and the other student healthcare professionals asking for more questions to do with their specific branch of healthcare – the Midwives, Paediatric Nurses and Mental Health Nurses, etc. – your wish is our command! Also, the Nursing Associates who wanted a book to bridge the gap between Nursing Assistants and Registered Nurses – again your wish is granted!

I would also like to extend my thanks to Magenta Styles (Associate Editorial Director) for her guidance and direction and to the team at Wiley‐Blackwell for their support.

I dedicate this book to my loving family: husband Rob (for the use of his photographs), and to my grandson Owen who likes to play our favourite maths game with me – taking all the chocolates out of the tin and laying them out and counting them and making a couple disappear each time. Adding and subtraction is so much fun, Yum! Also, to baby Rhys who is right that Granny’s notes are much more fun when scrunched up to make snowballs out of! Also, thanks to Simon, Louise and David for all their assistance in helping to develop the book series.
