Supplements
I think this book is excellent - I can’t wait to purchase a copy. It's everything a student nurse could need all in one place, a one-stop shop for orientation to the world of nursing.
It seems to cover everything a student would want to know. The case studies are great and I was especially pleased to see learning disabilities so prominently, and family-centred case studies. The activities are excellent and I can imagine lecturers buying this book and adapting them for classroom discussion too.
This book has everything that we want to convey to our student nurses as a good foundation of knowledge on which to build throughout their course. It is a useful guide to our profession, the values, skills and knowledge we possess. The case studies are good to encourage critical thinking and the chapter summaries, activities, glossaries etc are great to bring each chapter to a close and for the student to reflect on what has been learnt.
provides student with case studies to work through
Very useful and detailed book on the essentials of nursing practice
As the title suggests - essentials of nursing practice. Every student should refer to this book for their firm basic knowledge growth. Highly recommend if for those who are in critical care.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and using it to prepare for a unit that I am currently teaching on (Nursing theory and application). It is a very detailed book which is easy to follow. I like that there are case studies included and also suggested activities, some which I am planning on using. I feel it is also inspiring and in this current climate, will help students with their passion for caring. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to my students and I shall make sure that it is added to our reading list.
It is an easy read and does what it says in the title - gives the essentials of nursing practice. It is ideal for those students going into placement.
Students find the use of case studies and step by step instructions for skills easy to follow.
Moved to a new university. Will consider adoption on courses there as the content was relevant and accessible.
