Supplements
I utilise some chapters within this text to inform lectures.
excellent text book, perfect for our first years starting out on their learning journey
Great to receive the updated version of this book, which is always a great resource.
THis is an informative text for any student nurse. The chapters are easy to navigate and the reference to the NMC code remind students of the requirements of a nurse. The introductory chapter exploring what is nursing and what is a nurse provides shape to an exercise for experienced nurses to revisit their ideas about nursing and their role.
Each chapter clearly addresses the title and provides a narrative with activities to promote thought and learning.
I recommend this book to nursing students across all fields of practice, it is easy to navigate and the narrative is meaningful an wholly relates to nursing practice.
