Mentoring Nursing & Healthcare Students will help both the mentor and the student to develop the skills needed for effective collaboration. It is the core text for mentor preparation and mentor update courses in nursing, midwifery and allied health.
An excellent text for newly qualified nurses who now need to become mentors. Also an excellent text for students studying for the Teaching and Assessining in Clinical practice Module with the BSc in Clinical Practice
Excellent well written text
Very informative
I found this book very relevant for the Mentorship in Professional Practice Programme.The chapters are clear and correspond to the NMC Standards for mentoring which many students will find this useful in their new role.
Excellent resource for mentors of undergraduate nurses
Easy to read, at a good level for beginners to mentorship. offers some useful giudance.
the book is presenting the role of the mentor and the mentoring process in a simple and focused way. it is easily understood by the students and gave us a chance to create many contingencies for discussion and clinical teaching decisions.
A comprehensive guide that will supplement the existing reading list on mentoring student midwives. Whilst the status of all midwife mentors (sign-off) is different to that of nurse mentors, the principles of guiding good mentorship practice underpins BOTH professional groups.
This book links directly to the NMC (2008a) standards to support learning and assessment in practice and the case studies encourage students to engage with the topic of mentorship
A good, sound guide to the key issues surrounding mentoring. Well presented, easy to engage with and very informative. Will be recommending this on my reading lists for current and future modules.
I like the format of this book and it very well related to the standard for mentoring (NMC 2008) which gives it currency. The case studies are particuarly helpful.
