Customer Reviews

writing for nursing and midwifery students
I bought this book because I was struggling with writing reflective accounts in my nurse training. I found the book easy to understand and the chapters were relevant to my stage of the course. I especially needed information on elaborating on Gibbs' model of reflection and this book contained enough information for me to understand it. It also contains information on writing care plans, reflective essays and so on which I will find useful as I progress throught the course.

excellent for 1st year student nurses
I am currently doing my nurse training and found this book very beneficial for my assignment writing and assignment structure, it had very basic and very understandable concepts. Excellent in my opinion for 1st year nursing students doing the Common Foundation modules. Used examples and asked you to build your own opinions it definitely helped me with structure and presentation
