Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

The 2015-16 edition of A Handbook for Student Nurses has been brought completely up to date to incorporate the revised 2015 NMC Code, new NMC guidance on raising concerns and on using social media, the duty of candour, and other recent developments in the health service. References have also been comprehensively updated.
The book provides an introduction to the essential background knowledge that pre-registration nursing students need as a foundation for their training. It covers the core of first year nursing studies:

Legal and professional issues
Communication
Values and health care ethics
Reflection and personal development
Evidence-based practice
Study skills
Medicine, IV fluid and drug administration

Case studies and examples, activities and reflection points all aid learning, while references to legislation, key documents and reports, and website links to relevant organisations provide easy access to core information.
A Handbook for Student Nurses is widely recommended in institutions across the UK and is essential reading for new students.
