Succeeding in Nursing & Midwifery Education draws attention to some of the most important issues in current nursing and midwifery education, from initial considerations about applying for a programme to developing academic and clinical skills. The authors help readers to make the most of their programme by pointing out some of the potential pitfalls encountered in nursing and midwifery education, and offering clear and straightforward advice about how to overcome them.

Written in a conversational style, this book addresses key issues such as:

• how a nursing or midwifery programme is structured
• how to choose the right university
• how to make the most of the interview process,
• the financial implications of studying full-time

The authors also provide invaluable study skills guidance, including how to:

• organize and plan assignments
• write in an academic way

• use information technology

While aimed primarily at nursing and midwifery students, this book is also useful for lecturers wanting to support their students in their education and help them avoid some of the potential pitfalls associated with healthcare training.
