Essentials of Nursing Children and Young People cover

This book is a one-stop shop for the vast majority of children and young people′s nursing students.

The editors for the new edition are Jayne Price from Kingston University, Orla McAlinden previously from Queen′s University Belfast, and Zoë Veal from UWE Bristol, all with vast experience in nursing children and young people. A high level of research has gone into developing and refining the key features for this edition, such as updated voices and implementing new NMC standards.

This book maps to the content of the majority of pre-registration child nursing programmes, and by adopting a 5 part structure it clearly covers the core parts of training and practice that you will need:

Part 1): Principles of nursing children and young people
Part 2): Wellbeing and development
Part 3): Caring for children and young people with acute health care needs and injury
Part 4): Caring for children and young people with complex and high dependency needs
Part 5): Being a professional children and young people′s nurse

Having just read the sample chapter, this is going to be an essential read for all UG children’s nursing students, we currently use edition 1, but to have this mapped to the latest NMC standards will ensure our students are prepared for their future as children’s nurse! -- Shaun Edwards
From looking at the table of contents alone, I can tell that this book will be filled with a lot of resourceful information that will assist students in each field of children′s nursing. Each section has a clear heading that indicates where to locate the necessary information, as well as multiple subheadings that further divide the topic. -- Ogechi Umeokoli

This book is an essential text for both under graduate and post graduate children’s nurses. It covers all the important principles and some contemporary issues facing the 21st century nurse. The reflection points and Bibliography are particularly impressive. Highly recommended

-- Rosalind Grace
If you′re a student nurse like me, wanting an insight into everything you need to know about nursing, then this is the book for you! It has all the essential information you need, clearly broken down into five structured parts. -- Ilsan Issa

This chapter on communication is a great learning resource for Student Nurses and one I would recommend to all. It covers everything from language development to communicating in difficult circumstances and using technology and social media. A Student Nurse essential!

-- Brodie Callaway

Comprehensive and accessible, this nursing textbook offers a thorough exploration of essential concepts, from patient care to healthcare systems. With clear explanations and practical examples, it′s an invaluable resource for aspiring nurses to inspire critical thinking.
