""I am delighted to endorse this practical and accessible guide to
writing and developing a portfolio for nurses. Unlike many
'how-to-do' approaches to portfolio compilation, this book
acknowledges the complexity involved in learning from practice, and
recording that learning in a meaningful way. The book respectfully
guides the reader through essential elements to be considered if a
portfolio is to be more than a depository of paper, yet avoids
prescription in acknowledging the individual nature of the
portfolio and its necessity to reflect the nurse's own journey
through their career."
Professor Melanie Jasper, Head of College of Human and Health
Sciences, Swansea University, UK
"The compilation of a nursing portfolio is a task, which is
often neglected in the busy student nurse's life between long
shifts and assignments. Timmins & Duffy encourage one to take
on the challenge and guide one through the process
systematically... Examples of structured reflections and of
portfolio layouts make the realisation of one's own well presented
portfolio easier than one might think. Any student or qualified
nurse will thus benefit from Timmins & Duffy's encouraging
book."
Karin Schirmaier, Student, University of the West of England,
UK
"This book is intended for nurses at all stages of their careers
and offers a much needed step-by-step guide to planning, writing
and maintaining a portfolio. I was particularly pleased to see a
strong emphasis on refl ection and education, as a means of
encouraging nurses to think critically and learn from their own
practice. All in all, this is a very well-constructed book which I
highly recommend."
Professor Gary Rolfe, Swansea University, UK"
