Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Clinical Placement Survival Guide: An Essential Guide for Nurses is a survival tool for nursing students and those that support them throughout their clinical learning journey: mentors, facilitators, academics, clinical partners and registered nurses.

The guide is a user friendly resource designed to facilitate a smoother transition through this challenging phase of nursing education. a simple, student-centred format that illustrates problems the students might encounter though the use of stories and scenarios "coaching tips" provide the student with guidance and insight into how they can best navigate their way through the clinical placement and how problems can be resolved or prevented Reflective thinking activities encourage self-assessment and experiential learning Includes insights from clinical experts across a diverse range of specialties

This book is adapted for Europe from the Australian ed., 2007.
