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 and contemporary book. very useful for nurses undertaking becoming mentors or updating their skills.
I feel that this would be more useful for those considering or undertaking Mentor training than for those on a pre-reg course.
The book covers a wide range of topics relevant to the role of the mentor in a contemporary and accesible format.
an excellent book that explores the reality of student mentorship
An excellent text for those new to mentorship. Easy to read and informative.
an excellent resource for students studying mentoring skills
Really useful when teaching mentorship to registered nurses. Used to underpin what teaching I am delivering.
In relation to the Mentoring course I have recently completed, I did not refer to this book as frequently as I thought I would. When I did read it I found it lacked a flow. Obviously well written, I found it a little heavy going. This was I feel in part down to my learning style and in part down to the nursing stance from which the book was coming.
A useful text which covers the key components of the module and will add to available resources for students
A well designed mentorship book. Although it is mainly aimed at nurses other health care professionals can apply the principles into their own practice.
