For some, the transition between school and university is not an easy one. Unfamiliar and familiar subjects alike are treated with new approaches. The pace of learning escalates, the volume of written work increases and deadlines accelerate. And then there are the exams.

This series of books aims to bridge the gap by

* Introducing subjects as they are taught at university

* Providing time management strategies

* Suggesting how to get the most out of lectures and tutorials

* Showing how to write an essay that is on par with university standards

* While taking some of the agony out of exams

"Essential for anyone thinking of a career in nursing." -professor Roger Watson, school of nursing, University of Hull

This thorough guide to nursing education is divided into five parts:

* What is nursing?

* Biological sciences related to nursing

* Social sciences in nursing

* An introduction to clinical skills in nursing

* Study skills

The first section's emphasis is on where nursing fits into the health care system in the 21st century. Effective communication skills are outlined for the nurse and the patient. "Get Set for Nursing" provides the student with a clear and accessible guide to all the elements of a nursing degree, including an introduction to biological, psychological and social sciences. It prepares the student for the common-foundation-program-element in nursing education and nurse registration. The final sections provide a guide to the nursing and study skills required at university.

Features:

* Covers the common foundation program

* Addresses the theoretical and clinical skills that a student nurse will encounter
