Successful Practice Learning for Nursing Students

'This book, part of the Transforming Nursing Practice series, is a revelation. I enjoyed it an would recommend it to every nursing student and those returning to practice. I just wish this book had been around when I began my return to practice' -

"Smacks of authenticity - it's clearly written by someone with first hand knowledge of placement learning. I liked this book very much indeed' -
Lecturer, NWE

A useful book that is simple and relevant to nursing students and learning the practice of nursing. I would find it useful in facilitating reflective practice skills with students.
Thanks for the copy

A good book to introduce the students to mentoring as they prepare for future roles. I particularly like the scenarios

Liked the format of the book, easy to read and to dip in and out of. Good links to NMC.

This is a very timely book owing to the increased emphasis on effective mentoring of pre registration students. Its format of information followed by activities renders the book appealing and practical. This book would also be a useful addition to any ward learning resources

Recommended for purchase for clinical practice modules in all 4 years of the programme. This is a great book to help students at all levels prepare for the demands of practice learning. We use it in association with Reflective practice in nursing book in same series to help students understand their rights and responsibilities when learning in placement. We welcome this new edition which discusses the role of the sign off mentor.

Would recommend this to new student nurses prior to their first placements. Easy to read and clearly set out. Particularly liked the mentor section.

I would recommend this as background reading for students embarking on clinical placements. It can provide students with a focus and maximise their learning opportunities, especially if they feel challenged or uncertain with regard to clinical placments. It provides some useful case studies and activities and feels of an appropriate length that students might read all chapters. If offered a choice, whilst the topics are different, I feel this is more useful text than the clinical judgement and decision making for nursing students in the first year of study - especially now that credit will be awarded for practice experience.

Explanation of terms E.g. standards, essential skills, clusters etc. Activites - which can be adapted for other courses.

Unique. Clear signposting for students.
