Getting Ready for your Nursing Degree by Victoria Boyd

More and more people are considering a career in nursing or healthcare, but the thought of undertaking an academic degree at university can be intimidating. Whether you are moving straight from school or college or have been away from education for some time, Getting Ready for your Nursing Degree is essential preparation for anyone considering becoming or about to become a nursing student. It looks at all aspects of university work in a straightforward way and provides advice, examples and activities designed to help you get the most out of classes, research and assessments, from your first lecture right through to sitting exams and learning on placement. Designed with nursing students in mind, this small but perfectly formed guide is tailored to help you develop the skills you will need not only for your course but for your career and lifelong learning as a registered healthcare practitioner.

Both Dr Stephanie Mckendry and Vic Boyd are Academic Development Tutors and have worked with nursing students for nearly five years.

 

As well as developing ‘studySMART’ (a dedicated, flexible and subject specific academic support programme) resources and delivering lectures, tutorials and individual sessions, Stephanie and Vic engage in a variety of research activities and disseminate these through conference and journal papers. They have been published in the Nursing Standard, Journal of Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning and Studies in Higher Education.
