Do you mentor student nurses and/or newly registered nurses?

This is a trusted handbook on how to teach others: peers, students, patients and relatives.

Using a ‘talking through’ strategy this is a practical ‘How to’ guide, rather than an academic treatise, with a much stronger focus on the use of competencies.

Sections focus on these key areas:

• How people learn

• How to teach

• How to use competencies in teaching

• How to support learners

• How to assess teaching & learning

• Learning objectives begin each chapter

• Sets teaching within the context of nursing and education

• Aids the teaching of reflective practice

• Activities and exercises reinforce learning

• Cartoons illustrate significant points.

This edition has been updated in the areas of:

• The Knowledge and Skills Framework (part of Agenda for Change)

• Competency-based practice

• NVQs - National Vocational Qualifications

• Re-registering with the NMC

• Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
