Mentoring Nursing and Healthcare Students will help both the mentor and the student to develop the skills needed for effective collaboration. It is the core text for mentor preparation and mentor update courses in nursing, midwifery, and allied health.
A well written text for the student who will become a mentor when in clinical service. This also provides a useful resource for mentors already in clinical service and for University based tutors when dealing with novel experiences with students in practice placements.
good and adopted
Provides some good supporting information for trainee Mentors of Health care students. Worth having to add new perspectives not covered by other texts on the topic
An exceptional book to assist with the safe mentoring of healthcare learners
A well written book that encompasses all the key issues and concerns for mentors. However a chapter on 'students experiences of mentorship' may have enhanced this book still further, particularly as the back cover states "it will help both the mentor and student to develop the skills for effective collaboration". Student's experiences are interwoven in the chapters but more specific discourse would be better
This is very good text for Pre Registration students in the final semester.
It is best for Mentor Training Programme and I will be notifying our librarian Mentor Course leader to order copies
The text makes an easy yet thorough read. It is alligned with current healthcare policies and particularly as it relates to nursing, the NMC guidelines on mentoring. Very valuable text for learners.
Recommended as core reading for all students undertaking the mentoring course
wRITTEN IN AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE FORMAT THIS IS A USEFUL RESOURCE TO ENSURE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE MENTORSHIP ROLE
Works well alongside Neil Gopees book. Again the use of case studies is very effective at getting pre and post registration students to reflect honestly on mentorship and how the 2 sides preceive the same situation very differently. A very effective tool for lecturers to work with.
