Learning Skills for Nursing Students

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.

Excellent book especially for first and second year undergraduate nursing students. This book tackles most of the learning skills essential to all nurses embarking on a BSc.

A useful study skills book for our pre-nursing students. Although rather dry in its presentation the case studies and scenarios are useful. It dips into most areas providing a broad basis to work from.

This book covers a wide range of appropriate topics for the student nurse. It is informative and is an excellent resource for the full three years of the course

Very good introductory text linked robustly to NMC standards for pre-reg education and essential skills clusters. It is, as ever with this series, an accessible text for students in terms of both readability and affordability. There are many activities and case studies throughout which students always welcome. Inclusion of a chapter on numeracy is particularly useful as this is an area that does seem to terrify some students.
