About

The 2015—16 edition of A
Handbook for Student Nurses has been brought completely up to date to
incorporate the revised 2015 NMC Code, new NMC guidance on raising concerns and
on using social media, the duty of candour, and other recent developments in
the health service. References have also been comprehensively updated.

The book provides an introduction to the essential
background knowledge that pre-registration nursing students need as a
foundation for their training. It covers the core of first year nursing
studies:
Legal and professional issues

Communication

Values and health care ethics

Reflection and personal development

Evidence-based practice

Study skills

Medicine, IV fluid and drug administration

Case studies and examples, activities and reflection points
all aid learning, while references to legislation, key documents and reports,
and website links to relevant organisations provide easy access to core
information.

A Handbook for Student
Nurses is widely recommended in institutions across the UK and is essential
reading for new students.
