    About this ebook

    A handy, pocket-sized guide designed to help student nurses make the most of their community nursing placements.

    Community placements can be daunting – you’ll be working in a variety of settings, caring for a range of individual people and families with different needs, often in their own homes. There are new colleagues to work with, and newly learned nursing theory to put into practice. This pocket guide is designed to make your placements much more enjoyable and less stressful.

    From absence policy to palliative care, via home visiting, it’s full of practical detail, hints and tips.
    • Written by experienced lecturers with the input of current nursing students – this guidance is really produced with you in mind.
    • Pocket-sized format – carry it with you at all times.
    • Space to make your own notes – be it uniform policy, observations about the community you’re supporting, or just the names of your new colleagues!
    Reduce your stress and make the most of your community placement by having this book to hand from the start.

    Pocket Guides is a series of handy, pocket-sized books designed to help students make the most of their practice learning experiences.
