Synopsis
The journey to becoming a registered health professional requires student nurses to take on a challenging combination of academic and placement based learning.

Nursing Study and Placement Skills follows the student journey from day one, providing first year students with reliable, easy-to-read, practical advice to help them find their feet. Throughout the book clear links are made between 'study' and 'placement' skills, demonstrating how these two aspects of the curriculum are interrelated.
