Writing for Nursing and Midwifery Students

Combining a theoretical approach with practical activities, this book is invaluable for nursing and midwifery students and will help them to master the basics of writing at university.

It equips students with the skills needed to examine cognitive processes such as reflection and critical thinking and includes essential information on referencing correctly and avoiding plagiarism. Going beyond the traditional essay, it provides support and guidance on producing care critiques, action plans, portfolios and journal article reviews alongside complex argumentative writing and undergraduate dissertation proposals.

This fourth edition supports nursing and midwifery students throughout their course, with new sections on making effective notes, writing abstracts and designing posters for conferences as well as a writing skills questionnaire to help assess their level and track their progress. It reflects the latest referencing styles and reflection models and includes more examples from mental health, children and learning disability nursing.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is a comprehensive writing toolkit for students of nursing, midwifery, health and social care. Suitable for students of all levels, it is ideal for use in class or for independent study.
