The importance of the role of the mentor in the education and development of health care professionals who are fit to practice is well recognised. This book, which focuses on the role as it applies to nursing, is a timely and complementary addition to the growing 'pool' of available literature on this subject. The book offers mentors and 'would be mentors' a cogent approach built on practical experience and a rational synthesis constructed from the field of relevant literature. The author uses 'real world' anecdotal student comment to illustrate the points made thus providing valuable insight into the student perspective.

Part of the nurses' role upon registration is developing student's knowledge and competence, therefore I believe this book is an asset for any nurse - mentor or not. It facilitates development of teaching skills and reinforces the various theories of learning ... The handbook assists the nurse to be a role model for students and provides fantastic points for providing feedback for improving students confidence, competence and knowledge.
Amy Hutchinson, Staff Nurse
All nurses have a duty, via their professional code of conduct, to pass on their knowledge and this book is the ideal companion text for all new and trainee nurse mentors. This book provides a unique guide to strategies and ideas to help devise and enhance learning opportunities for their students.
With a practical and accessible style, the book answers all those questions that mentors may have about the mentoring role, including:
- How can I create a good learning environment?
- How should I assess students in practice?
- How do I support failing students?
- What should I include in my mentors portfolio?
The Nurse Mentor's Handbook is centred around the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) mentor standards, and is easy to relate to nurse mentor courses and the requirements for effective updating.
