Synopsis '...ideal both for students undertaking pre-registration training and for those following postbasic diploma and degree courses ...also a useful reference text for nurse teachers' (Review of 1st edition: Nursing Times) This successful textbook has been updated to reflect the continuing changes within nursing and to take account of recent research. However, the qualities that made the first edition so popular - readability, clarity, range and depth, academic underpinning, worked examples and exercises - have all been retained.

Description: The first edition of Nursing Research in Action was published in 1990. Since its publication, nurse education has changed dramatically, with Project 2000 commencing, and most nurse education linked with colleges, further, and higher education. The second edition of this successful book is taking this into consideration. It now addresses both the needs of Project 2000 students and undergraduate degree students. It offers more details on how to do qualitative research. The revised edition offers more information on each of the topics in each of the chapters. The activities and exercises remain while some new ones are added. A wider range of research sources are referred to. This new edition is more comprehensive and appropriate to an even wider market.

Synopsis: Survival Guide for Students is aimed directly at student nurses on Project 2000 and other nursing courses, to equip them with essential study and survival skills. The book covers a range of useful topics, from planning work and organising time, to doing research, using computers, self-development, getting on with other people, CV preparation and being interviewed. It answers all the questions most students ask and many that may not have occurred to them. It is a book to be used, not only during courses, but beforehand as a preparation for student life. The book provides clear information on everyday aspects of studying and working in a student culture.
