Successful Mentoring in Nursing

Second Edition


February 2014 | 152 pages | Learning Matters

Supporting students poses a significant challenge for nurse mentors and other healthcare professionals in today's world of practice. Recent concerns over the fitness to practice of nursing students at the point of registration and the move to all-graduate pre-registration programmes require new approaches to practice learning and mentoring the nurse of the future.

The book offers clear practical advice on how to acquire and develop mentorship skills to support degree-level nursing students. It has been fully updated to include more detailed advice on what to do when a student is failing, how to approach assessment and provides more examples of mentoring in community placements.

This book is a comprehensive and affordable guide suitable for all nurses, midwives and health professionals undertaking a mentorship course to support nursing students.

A well written and easy to digest book which covers all necessary areas for becoming a successful mentor. The lay out encourages reflection and scenarios could be used as informal discussion points for groups of mentors within any unit. The chapter on the challenging student is particularly useful for all new mentors and anyone who has never worked with a failing student.

Excellent text , would recommend as an easy read for all Nurses and Allied Helath Professionals studying an approved NMC Mentorship Programme. Explores and shows application to the NMC Mentoring Standards through the use case studies , senarios, and gently challanges the reader to explore their own views and experiences around supporting and facilitaitng learning and assessment in the clinical setting.
