The Practitioner as Teacher

Do you mentor student nurses and/or newly registered nurses? This is a trusted handbook on how to teach others: peers, students, patients and relatives. Using a 'talking through' strategy this is a practical 'How to' guide, rather than an academic treatise, with a much stronger focus on the use of competencies. Sections focus on these key areas: . How people learn . How to teach . How to use competencies in teaching . How to support learners . How to assess teaching & learning . Learning objectives begin each chapter . Sets teaching within the context of nursing and education . Aids the teaching of reflective practice . Activities and exercises reinforce learning . Cartoons illustrate significant points. This edition has been updated in the areas of: . The Knowledge and Skills Framework (part of Agenda for Change) . Competency-based practice . NVQs - National Vocational Qualifications . Re-registering with the NMC . Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
