The Nursing Companion by Peter Birchenall

The Nursing Companion is an essential text for those beginning their journey towards professional qualification. It introduces the branches of nursing, core concepts and research. This preparatory reader also includes specialist study skills, helping students to balance learning in lectures and on placement.

'We are thrilled with this text and intend to make it a required reading for all Pre Registration Nursing students BEFORE they start the course' - Jeanne Landon-Campbell, School of Nursing & Midwifery, Cumbria University, UK 'This proved such a useful book to help with interview/application for Nurse Training that most of the students bought it the instant I referred to it as soon as it was first published. As the course progressed the students continued to find this a useful source of reference for a number of subject areas - it truly became their "companion". I could not recommend this highly enough.' - Moira Jessup, School of Arts and General Education, Llandrillo College, UK 'I like this book. It does particularly well to focus on things from a students' perspective. Not many books manage to do this.' -Russell Harrison-Paul, School of Nursing, University of Nottingham, UK 'I would recommend this book to students who want a flavour of the kind of demands that nursing brings' - Anthea Wilson, Lecturer in Health and Social Care, Faculty of Health & Social Care, The Open University, UK 'A commendable piece of work; this is a very useful reference text that takes a different approach to nursing. It is a very exciting book and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to read it.' - Dr. Graham Thurgood- Senior Lecturer, Division of Acute Care, Department of Health Sciences, School of Human and Health Sciences, University of Huddersfield, UK. '...brings together material by top academic nurse educators and is aimed at beginner nurses or those who are contemplating a nursing career' - Writers' News
