Clinical Skills: an introduction for nursing and healthcare covers the essential clinical skills required by nurses.
It offers an ideal introduction to clinical skills for adult nursing students, and it will also be useful for student nurses in other fields of practice, for trainee nursing associates and for other healthcare students who need to carry out clinical procedures when caring for people in a healthcare environment.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, the book will help students to:
- develop their proficiency in carrying out the nursing procedures required to qualify as a Registered Nurse
- understand when and how to provide nursing intervention and support to people in their care
- broaden and deepen their knowledge through the use of realistic scenarios
- apply their knowledge in a person-centred and compassionate way
- reflect on their own values and learning experiences to enhance their nursing practice
- improve their nursing skills by using the ‘hints for practice’ and ‘alerts’
Pre-publication reviews
“I found the chapters very accessible and easy to read which was refreshing as a lot of textbooks can be quite overwhelming in content and language.” Former nursing student, Edge Hill University
“It is very useful that all the procedures are broken down into steps. This gives the reader a clear guideline and good direction on where to begin.” Former nursing student, University of Cumbria
“This book is brilliant in so many ways… the step-by-step instruction were so useful and have really helped me to consolidate my learning. I will be recommending it to fellow students.” Adult nursing student, University of East Anglia
“The patient scenarios are one of my favourite aspects of the book, especially the continuity of particular case studies throughout the book. This is going to be an excellent addition to bookshelves and a fantastic reference.” Newly Qualified Nurse, ex-Sheffield Hallam University
