A Handbook for Student Nurses: A Comprehensive Guide for Nursing Students
by Wendy Benbow (Author), Gill Jordan (Author)
A Handbook for Student Nurses is a must-have resource for anyone pursuing a career in nursing. Written by Wendy Benbow and Gill Jordan, experienced nursing professionals, this book provides a comprehensive guide to the essential knowledge and skills needed by pre-registration nursing students.
The latest edition, released in 2016, has been updated to incorporate the most recent developments in the health service, ensuring that students are equipped with the most up-to-date information. From legal and professional issues to communication skills, ethics, evidence-based practice, and study skills, this book covers all the core topics that first-year nursing students need to understand.
One of the major updates in this edition is the inclusion of the new NHS whistleblowing policy. This policy aims to protect and support individuals who raise concerns about wrongdoing or risks in the healthcare sector. By covering this policy in detail, A Handbook for Student Nurses ensures that students are aware of their rights and responsibilities when it comes to ethical practice.
Another important addition is the coverage of Leading Change, Adding Value, the framework for nursing, midwifery, and care staff. This framework encourages healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care and improve outcomes for patients. By understanding this framework, nursing students can start their training with a strong sense of the values and goals of the profession.
Furthermore, the book also addresses the revalidation process for qualified nurses. Revalidation is a mandatory process that all registered nurses in the UK must go through to demonstrate their continued competence and professionalism. By including information about revalidation, A Handbook for Student Nurses ensures that students are aware of the requirements they will face once they qualify.
Throughout the book, the authors use case studies and examples to illustrate key concepts and provide real-world context. Activities and reflection points also encourage active learning and help students apply their knowledge to practical situations. This approach fosters critical thinking and prepares students for the challenges they will face in their nursing careers.
In addition to the comprehensive content, A Handbook for Student Nurses also provides easy access to core information. The book includes references to legislation, key documents, reports, and relevant websites, ensuring that students can find the information they need quickly and easily.
A Handbook for Student Nurses has received widespread recommendation in institutions across the UK and is considered essential reading for new students. With its clear and concise explanations, practical examples, and emphasis on critical thinking, this book is an invaluable resource for any nursing student.
