Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Pre-registration student nurses spend 50% of their training in practice which provides a wealth of opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills. However, many new students find themselves in a clinical environment which is foreign and confusing. The new edition of this popular book (formerly Learning to Learn in Nursing Practice) helps nursing students prepare for their practice learning experiences, and get the most out of them in order to achieve the required standards. This book is, first and foremost, a practical guide for students on developing learning skills during their practice experiences.

Previously published as Learning to learn in nursing practice.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

An essential guide for student nurses on how to prepare for, and get the most out of, practice learning experiences.
