Learning to Learn in Practice (Transforming Nursing Practice)

In the UK, pre-registration student nurses spend 50% of their training on practice placements which provide a wealth of opportunities for students to develop their knowledge and skills. However, many students find themselves in a clinical environment which is foreign and confusing. This book will help the student to seek out and construct learning opportunities from within the clinical environment. It will also be useful in the development of skills for practice learning which will help to achieve a competent standard. This book will be, first and foremost, a practical and relevant guide for students on developing skills for learning from, in, and during their practice placements.

"Smacks of authenticity - it's clearly written by someone with first hand knowledge of placement learning. I liked this book very much indeed." (Lecturer, UWE.)
