Succeeding in Nursing and Midwifery Education

Succeeding in Nursing & Midwifery Education provides essential guidance to anyone navigating the journey from applying for a programme in nursing or midwifery to qualifying as a healthcare practitioner. Written in a conversational style, this book helps the reader make the most of their nursing and midwifery education by addressing key issues such as how a nursing or midwifery programme is structured, how to choose the right university, how to make the most of the interview process, appreciating the personal implications of studying full time, and crucially, making the most of the various learning opportunities that contribute to personal and professional development.  Readers are guided in a straightforward, clear and concise way to meet both the academic and clinical expectations of the programme, such as how to organize and plan assignments, how to write in an academic way, how to develop analytical and critical skills, how to correctly reference and avoid plagiarism, how to use information technology, and how to develop the nursing and midwifery–specific skills associated with working in clinical and care environments. While aimed primarily at nursing and midwifery students, this book is also useful for lecturers wanting to support their students in their education and help them avoid some of the potential pitfalls associated with healthcare education.
