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.
What lecturers are saying about Clinical Placements:
"A practical book that provides students with a range of essential information, tips and advice about what to expect on clinical placement which should help them to make the most out of their placement. Information is easy to access, making it easy for students to quickly navigate information. The small spiral bound format makes it accessible and ideal for students to keep in their uniform pocket."
"This book is just what is needed, relevant information that will help students make the most out of their placement and reduce the anxiety!"
"I have had a look through the Pocket Guide Clinical Placements book and think that it is an excellent little book that will support students in preparing for their first placement and future placements until they gain confidence. There is just the right mix of appropriate illustrations and text and I particularly like the areas for notes that can be added if needed."
"I found this an excellent little resource for students as well as a reminder for staff."
