Supervising and Assessing Student Nurses and Midwives in Clinical Practice is a practical guide for healthcare practitioners responsible for the supervision and assessment of students. The book is designed to help practice supervisors and practice assessors: to identify and plan for a range of learning opportunities to consider what is possible for learning and assessment in their area to get ready for and deliver the best learning experiences that they can to prepare students for their role as future nurses and midwives. Activities, top tips, examples and scenarios all help the reader to set the principles in context and to support students in achieving the NMC's standards of proficiency. Covering the learning environment and culture, interprofessional supervision, coaching models and feedback, methods and types of assessment, simulation-based learning, and the future of practice learning, the book aims to help individuals and organisations to create the best environment for supporting, supervising and assessing students in practice. "This is a contemporary text that is truly a practical guide that steers and supports. It is written in an accessible and user-friendly way, helping the reader see through the complexities that are inherently associated with practice assessment... I sincerely recommend this book to students and practitioners who learn and practise together with the overall goal of offering high-quality care that is safe and effective."

After over one-hundred years of being a totally controlling, Type-A Fairy, the last few months have transcended a whirlwind of chaos and anxiety for Laila Simons. She is desperately trying to balance a thin line between her fate and reality. Forced to forfeit her passions for designer labels, Laila is appointed to guard Celeste, the mythical Lucis et Pacis' and an unruly teenager who cannot keep her magical powers in check. The worst part? If she doesn't get her life under control soon she will not make it through the day alive. Life isn't always a fairy tale. Somehow, in the midst of utter turmoil, Laila falls in love with a man seeking to release the mystery of what is hidden inside a small, heart-shaped golden locket. The only way to save those she loves is to put her faith in the hands of the man she shouldn't trust. Will Laila abandon her future fated by the stars to capture her eternity in a Cartier diamond ring? A story of love and deceit, secrets and betrayals, that takes us from the mythical ruins of the Greek Gods to the backyard of a historical city known as Pasadena. Once upon a Cartier is the love story, a bold inquiry into destiny and Laila's decision to pursue a path towards everlasting love and unspeakable loss. This love leads to the twist and turns of an unorthodox relationship that breaks the lines of reality and fantasy. A true battle of defining what unconditional love is and in doing so, remind us what it means to be human.
