Infos

This is an accessible guide aimed at student nurses, introducing them, and guiding them through the Nursing and Midwifery Council's approved programmes of education for Registered Nurse status. Every programme of study that prepares a student to become a proficient registered nurse must be approved by the NMC and adhere to its standards and guidelines.

The book is broken in to four sections based on the four proficiencies stated by the NMC: Professional and Ethical Practice; Care Delivery; Care Management and Personal and Professional Development. It presents these proficiencies in an easy to understand and implement way, making it easily accessible for both students, and registered nurses who will find it a useful reference for their work and development.

Rezensionen

" I think the content and material is excellent it
includes relevant material and some extra without material
overload! I think the size is perfect, it's handy and
manageable not too heavy and it fits in my handbag which is always
a bonus! I will definitely be making recommendations to my friends
and will maybe even suggest it to some of my lecturers to see what
they think (to consider it as a reading list recommendation). I
look forward to the next edition!" (2nd
year nursing student, University of Ulster)

"I cannot fault the content- it is straight to
the point, it provides some interesting resources for a student
nurse that is essential for them to know, as well as some things
which may not be essential but may be interesting - such as
the history of nursing, which was completely new to me and a joy to
read." (2nd year nursing student, Keele
University)

"It's been designed for students and
that's why I like it.Its layout is fantastic, very clear and
a lot of literature to back up research. Each chapter is detailed
which I cannot fault.It's student friendly, useful, easy to
read." (2nd year nursing student, Swansea
University)

"The content is superb. This book is full of
very user friendly chapters with lots of valuable advice , to
support students with what they are reading which makes it a
valuable resource." (Jean Nhemachena, Head of

"Clear, concise, well organized, systematic,
comprehensive and clearly linked to the NMC
standards." (Paul Regan, Lecturer in adult nursing,
University of Central Lancashire)

"I like this book very much and find all of
the chapters focused and well written and have no hesitation
recommending this to student nurses. This text is useful
throughout the pre -registration programme."
