Supporting students poses a significant challenge for nurse mentors and other healthcare professionals in today's world of practice. Recent concerns over the fitness to practise of student nurses at the point of registration, and the move to graduate pre-registration programmes from 2011, require new approaches to placement learning and mentoring the nurse of the future.
This book offers clear practical advice on how to acquire and develop mentorship skills to support degree-level nursing students. It encourages the mentor's continued development during and after their mentor training, and covers the skills required from novice mentorship through to sign-off mentorship.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This is an excellent book for people who are starting a mentorship course or are in need of a refresher. Using the Nursing and Midwifery Council requirements to define and introduce each chapter, this is a concise and practical guide. It is simple to navigate and ideal to dip into for something specific, as well as being a good overall introduction. This book covers every aspect of the mentoring role, with practical questions at the end of each chapter connecting the concepts to practice. The accompanying 'sample answers' are particularly helpful. They allow time for reflection, and ground the book in the ward environment. I also recommend this book to those who have been mentoring for some time. It will be effective in reviewing practice, especially as the case studies can sometimes seem all too real' - 5 star review -
