This book helps students master the key learning skills they need to become successful learners throughout their degree and beyond. It clearly explains the core skills they will need right from the start of the course, such as writing and numeracy skills and how to organise studies. It also introduces more advanced skills that students will need as the course progresses, such as research and evidence based practice. It shows how to use these important skills to succeed both at university and as a registered nurse.

This is a book that I have found to be very informative. It has something for every learner, whether it be about reflective practice or activities to help them strengthen their maths skills. I have certainly been recommending it as a good tool to prepare my students for their nurse training.
I have included it on the book list for the new cohort starting in September as well as asking the college library to invest in some copies for other students to look at.

Attempts to achieve too much within its length, consequently superficial in several areas. Could be more interactive. May be useful to some students but not the ideal text.
