Hello Colleagues,

Please can anyone suggest information resources which would be particularly useful for new NHS nursing staff from the EU?

We have a group of new nurses recruited from Spain who will be starting with us in September.

One of our senior nurses has just booked them in for a library induction. Apparently they have asked her about reading resources to prepare before they start - I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

We already have some books for newly-qualified nurses. If you know of any which have been particularly helpful for similar recruits, we could flag up the ones we already have, or there is (just) time to buy in new titles.

I am aware of the Nursing Careers pages on the NHS Careers website http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/explore-by-career/nursing/

Also, if there is any information about resources which Spanish nurses may already be familiar with (other than PubMed), or nurse training in Spain and how their system differs from ours, that would be very useful for my own preparation.

Thanks,

Helen
