Essentials of Nursing Practice cover

Delivering knowledge, theory and skills for the NMC Future Nurse curriculum.

This definitive textbook introduces the core topics and essential information that every nursing student will need to master during their degree. Written by a diverse team of nursing educators from around the UK, with input from patients, practitioners and students, the book delivers a complete solution that challenges modern nursing practice and prepares students for the changing health needs of communities and individuals.

Key features:

  • Adopts a values-based and person-centred approach to nursing
  • Modelled on the NMC Standards providing full coverage of the core curriculum
  • Real-life ‘voices’ and experiences from patients, students and practitioners bring the subject to life
  • Includes active learning features that develop graduate nursing skills such as critical thinking, reflection and evidence-based practice

Lecturers and educators can also access a collection of exclusive teaching materials including presentation slides for each chapter, hundreds of multiple choice and short-form questions, guided case studies as well as recommendations for video-based activities with assignable questions.

I think this book is excellent - I can’t wait to purchase a copy. It′s everything a student nurse could need all in one place, a one-stop shop for orientation to the world of nursing.

It seems to cover everything a student would want to know. The case studies are great and I was especially pleased to see learning disabilities so prominently, and family-centred case studies. The activities are excellent and I can imagine lecturers buying this book and adapting them for classroom discussion too. -- Lucy Kirkham
This book has everything that we want to convey to our student nurses as a good foundation of knowledge on which to build throughout their course. It is a useful guide to our profession, the values, skills and knowledge we possess. The case studies are good to encourage critical thinking and the chapter summaries, activities, glossaries etc are great to bring each chapter to a close and for the student to reflect on what has been learnt. -- Sera Manning
