Critical Thinking and Writing for Nursing Students ** Bob Price and Anne Harrington | Learning Matters (www.learningmatters.co.uk) | 160pp £12.83| ISBN: 978 1 84445 366 5
This book is part of a series linked with the Nursing and Midwifery Council's standards and essential skills clusters. These are referred to as draft, lending an air of uncertainty.
The authors use hypothetical students named Stewart, Fatima, Raymet and Gina to discuss the topics.
The sections on getting the most from lectures, placements and electronic resources will be particularly useful. It also addresses reflecting in nursing contexts, scholarly writing, making sense of clinical placements, writing a reflective essay and building and using your portfolio of learning.
