Samenvatting
Succeeding in Nursing & Midwifery Education draws attention to some of the most important issues in current nursing and midwifery education, from initial considerations about applying for a programme to developing academic and clinical skills. The authors help readers to make the most of their programme by pointing out some of the potential pitfalls encountered in nursing and midwifery education, and offering clear and straightforward advice about how to overcome them.
Written in a conversational style, this book addresses key issues such as:
how a nursing or midwifery programme is structured

the financial implications of studying full–time
The authors also provide invaluable study skills guidance, including how to:

While aimed primarily at nursing and midwifery students, this book is also useful for lecturers wanting to support their students in their education and help them avoid some of the potential pitfalls associated with healthcare training.
