How to Succeed on Nursing Placements

Karen Elcock is Head of Programmes, Pre-registration Nursing at Kingston University and St George’s University London, one of the early implementers of the new degree programme for nursing. She has taught on and led pre-registration nursing programmes for over 20 years and has a particular interest in how student nurses learn in practice settings which makes up 50% of pre-registration nursing programmes.

A useful resource for student nurses, especially those with no healthcare experience, and those with practice in this area. As with all this series, it is an easy to read guide, rather than a pure textbook.
