  Study skills are essential to nursing and this easy-to-use guide will help to develop the skills necessary to academic and professional life. This book takes a friendly approach and is written in a straightforward style. Using examples from the real experience of being a student nurse or midwife, it covers vital areas such as self-motivation, why attention to detail is important, numeracy skills and how to make the most from the help available at universities and colleges. In addition, it shows ways to: manage and plan your time effectively; get the most out of lectures and seminars; read effectively; remember more; make notes and use them to develop understanding; manage and succeed at assignments; develop practical nursing skills; learn from clinical experiences; and develop reflective skills. This book is written by authors with extensive experience of teaching student nurses who are able to appreciate the issues that student nurses will encounter and the differences between heath students and those from other subjects within HE.
