“To be honest, I was ready to quit nursing. But gave this book a shot as a last resort and I’m so glad I did. Emma’s message made me believe in myself again and I’m excited about the potential of where nursing can take me.”
I genuinely want to see you succeed and that is why I created the New Nurse Survival Kit. I want to give you the tools and advice I wish I’d had access to when I started my career so you can start enjoying the job you’ve studied so hard for.

“Many thanks Em and the Survival kit is great. I am a Nurse Educator and was looking for something more/ different for one of my new grads when I came across your work. I think this might really help him and I plan on printing it for him when I meet with him on Thursday.
Thanks for your ideas and great work – you are the best!
