i will reference this during pre and post placement tutorials and during academic support tutorials for students. -- Mrs Lynn Dracup * drupal *
I have done a very silly thing and sent the book back to you because I thought it was a little elementary for my students, who are trained nurses but most of whom completed a diploma course. Now, post registration they are undertaking degree level modules. However, having spoken to colleagues and looked at other publications I realise I have made an error! It is entirely the right level for them, easy and straightforward to understand . I have therefore re-ordered tonight and will be recommending that they buy it to support their assignment prep. I hope you will accept a re-order. -- Mrs Monica King * drupal *
Excellent resource. Clearly written. Easy to acess relevant information. This will be an excellent source of guidance for both pre-reg students and mature learners needing to develop their ability to access evidnce for practice. Up to date guidance regarding reliable websites as well as advice regarding communication etiquette, -- Mrs Sue Ball * drupal *
I like the layout, the use of Activities and other scenarios. It is student friendly. Further reading and useful websites are excellent. -- Ms Anna O'Leary * drupal *
