Newly qualified nurses can find their first year of practice a daunting experience. This book is specifically written to support new nurses through the demands of their preceptorship year. Each chapter provides friendly and practical support on the main areas of development needed for new nurses to become confident practitioners. The book is also designed for use on formal preceptorship programmes and covers each of the areas for professional development outlined in the Department of Health's new Preceptorship Framework (2010). Packed with activities, case studies and down-to-earth advice, this book provides essential support for the newly registered nurse.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Highly recommended' - Times Higher Education
'I am sure we all remember those nervous moments when we walked onto the ward, no longer the student, but now the fully
fledged Registered Nurse. The lapels may no longer sit on the shoulder but the transition from student to staff nurse is just as daunting. In this book Sharples and Elcock provide seventeen chapters full of theoretical guidance and practical advice which will help steer newly registered nurses thorough the initial preceptorship
period. Although the content will be familiar, as it builds on pre-registration programme syllabus, each chapter aims have been mapped to the Preceptorship and Knowledge and Skills Frameworks.
This will help practitioners make links to their formal preceptorship programme.
Activities throughout the book link theory to practice by applying the theory in context of an activity which will be relevant
in clinical areas. Several case studies offer reflective narratives or present challenges which may be faced by newly qualified band 5 nurses. These provide practical advice and could be also be used
as discussion points with the nurse preceptor. The authors have provided extensive up to date references at the end of each chapter and at the end of the book. Relevant websites also provide links to
current legislative content and the NHS flyingstart site. However, these are English links and practitioners from other countries
where health is devolved should be careful to follow their own country's programme. Overall this is a useful book to add to any
newly registered nurses booklist and importantly it is offered in a number of electronic formats as well as print' -
