Clinical Placements: Pocket Guides for Student Nurses

Abstract

Clinical placements are an essential part of nurse training, but are extremely daunting, especially for new nursing students. This unique pocket guide provides a wealth of practical detail, tips and advice to help the student nurse get to grips with, and make the most of, their placement. The pocket-sized format means the book is extremely portable (it really will fit in a pocket!) and the ring binding allows it to be opened flat (useful when adding notes, for example). The information is presented in digestible chunks (lists, tables, bullets, even cartoons) so the reader can find the essential information really quickly without wading through pages of text there is even space to add notes specific to the particular placement. Written by recent nursing graduates based on their own experiences, reviewed by students and checked by a clinical supervisor this guidance has been produced specifically with student nurses in mind
