Fundamentals of Nursing (häftad, eng)

Fundamentals of Nursing, unlike other texts, is not limited to just one specialism, but considers nursing across all fields from Adult, to Child, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities as well as both within the acute and community settings. Fundamentals of Nursing will help you to prepare and succeed in the varied and exciting career you have chosen, enabling you to become the skilled, flexible and confident nurse modern healthcare demands.

Fundamentals of Nursing helps you on this journey with comprehensive coverage of contemporary professional nursing developed to compliment the latest Standards of Proficiency for Pre-Registration Nursing Education (Nursing & Midwifery Council 2010) and the Essential Skills Clusters.
