Successful Mentoring in Nursing

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 student nurses at the point of registration and the move to graduate pre-registration programmes from 2011 require new approaches to placement learning and mentoring the nurse of the future. This book offers clear practical advice on how to acquire and develop mentorship skills to support degree-level nursing students. It encourages the mentor’s continued development during and after their mentor training, and covers the skills required from novice mentorship through to sign off mentorship.
