Nursing study and placement skills

The journey to becoming a registered health professional requires student nurses to take on a challenging combination of academic and placement based learning. Nursing Study and Placement Skills has been developed specifically to provide students with a single text covering advice and skills for all aspects of the pre-registration nursing course from academic study and clinical placement, to professional and personal success. Nursing Study and Placement Skills follows the student journey from day one, providing first year students with reliable, easy-to-read, practical advice to help them find their feet. Throughout the book clear links are made between 'study' and 'placement' skills, demonstrating how these two aspects of the curriculum are interrelated. In addition to insights from mentors and lecturers, the book uniquely offers advice from real nursing students, allowing readers the benefit of their experience. With this single, student-friendly volume the authors have provided a one-stop-shop of invaluable advice to help student nurses to succeed in all areas of the pre-registration course and develop their nursing practice.
