Study Skills for Nurses
This text will prove to be a useful resource for students commencing a nursing programme, it is a good mix of topics not generally covered in one book. I particularly liked the chapter on numeracy skills, which highlighted that these skills are essential to all aspects of nursing and not just to the administration of medications.
Very student friendly text, which is linked to NMC Standards. Use of activities within text should help student with depth of understanding
Very similar to texts already utilised
I particularly like the use of activities to help students consolidate their learning.
I like this book, particularly the scenarios and activities. I like the blue colour throughout. Lots of useful information included. Layout very good. Covers both basicand advanced skills.
The activities are really useful and the tips for the students.
The content is very diverse and relevant for pre registration student nurses and also for nurses whose registration has lapsed and undertaking a return to practice programme. I particularly liked the link to NMC standards for education linking practice with theory.
A useful text for new students. I intend to use and recommend it to my new intake when they attend their induction in September. Can I view more texts of this nature. New starters need to understand more about Learning Skills in Higher Education and this text is appropriate for their needs.
This book is ideal for first year nursing students. The content is varied and includes some very relevant material on practice skills. Likewise, the study skills information is up-to-date and comprehensive. The only thing I would highlight to students is that the recommended referencing style mentioned in this book is not the same as the one used at Bournemouth. However, I will add it to the students reading list and will consider adding it to the precourse reading.
Essential well written text. Valuable addition to series. Well referenced with pertinant activities.
