The journey to becoming a registered health professional requires student nurses to take on a challenging combination of academic and placement based learning. Nursing Study and Placement Learning Skills has been developed specifically to provide students with a single text covering advice and skills for all aspects of the pre-registration nursing course from academic study and clinical placement, to professional and personal success. Nursing study and placement learning skills follows the student journey from day one, providing first year students with reliable, easy-to-read, practical advice to help them find their feet. Throughout the book clear links are made between 'study' and 'placement' skills, demonstrating how these two aspects of the curriculum are interrelated. In addition to insights from mentors and lecturers, the book uniquely offers advice from real nursing students, allowing readers the benefit of their experience. With this single, student-friendly volume the authors have provided a one-stop-shop of invaluable advice to help student nurses to succeed in all areas of the pre-registration course and develop their nursing practice. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Nursing Study and Placement Learning Skills features: For students: * Links to key sources of further information and guidelines, helping students to save time. * An interactive glossary to help students learn important nursing terms. * Study tips and practical checklists to download for placement. * Updates on the review of pre-registration nursing education.

Reviews
I really wish now that a book like this was available when I started the course as it would have eliminated many of my worries and concerns... this...incorporates everything you could ever need to keep you on track with the course... covers many aspects which are not covered within other nursing handbooks * Lina Penfold, Student nurse, Adult branch, University of Southampton *
the student advice is extremely useful * Navjeet Kaur, Student nurse, Child branch , Birmingham City University *
this would be helpful for a student to read a few weeks before starting their first placement as it explains simple things which sometimes are over looked * Sara Hosseini-Moein, Student Nurse Adult branch, Bournemouth *
I think this is an essential text for any new nursing student... students would benefit greatly from the advice and information... Most of the information is contained in several other texts, but it has been put together along with an experienced commentary... good to see it in one readable text * Neil Davison, Lecturer, Bangor University. *
the ideal book for a nurse starting her/his course... It gives a comprehensive overview of how to get the most learning from the placement... the student nurse is prepared what will placements will be like. * Joel Hawkins, Mentor and Mental Health Nurse, Oxford *
10/10 It would be of great use to any new student to refer to over their first few weeks and days of a nursing course * Michael Adams, lecturer, BCU *
an essential resource for students before their first CFP placement and... suitable for CFP students who have never entered a clinical practice environment before * Kathryn Catty, Practice Placement Manager, Adult Nursing, Birmingham *
Excellent practical ideas to deal with the work life balance involved in nursing degrees * Kaye Greenough, Acting Director of CPSU, Cardiff *
It tackles a wide range of topics with a lot of useful hints and tips. * Moya Paton, Lecturer in Adult Nursing, University of the West of Scotland. *
