Management & Leadership Book
The 7 habits of highly effective people: Powerful
lessons in personal change Stephen R. Covey
I selected this book because I often feel that I am
not good at attaining goals.
This book allowed me to improve on weaknesses I
never knew I had.
This book allowed me to reevaluate how Ive been
able to be an effective student and compare it with
what the author thinks an effective person should
exhibit.

I found it valuable to understand the role of the
charge nurse in the unit where I completed my
preceptorship.
This experience provides a better understanding
of the role of the charge nurse in a unit similar to
where I want to work.
