Synopsis

A Handbook for Student Nurses is a comprehensively updated introduction to the essential background knowledge that pre-registration nursing students need as a foundation for the rest of their training. This book covers the core of first year nursing:

  • Legal and professional issues
  • Communication
  • Values and health care ethics
  • Reflection and personal development
  • Evidence-based practice
  • Study skills and IT

Case studies and examples, activities and reflection points all aid learning, while up-to-date legislation, key documents and reports, and website links to relevant organisations provide easy access to core information.

What lecturers thought about the first edition:

An excellent introductory text for student nurses, written in a clear and illuminative style.
