Reviews

Burton and Ormond's second edition reestablishes their book as the 'go to text' for both students and lecturers exploring the essential elements of transition to nurse registration. The book continues to provide 'on point' accessibility with carefully laid out sections and activities - but, most importantly, this subject has been brought up to date in the quickly changing health sector. The content contains an impressive range of content from ethics, teaching and learning to global partnerships working. Links to both the most recent NMC guidelines, and essential literature that has been published since the first edition, makes this a recommended text for any individual or nursing cohort. -- Dawn Morley

Burton and Ormond's second edition reestablishes their book as the 'go to text' for both students and lecturers exploring the essential elements of transition to nurse registration. The book continues to provide 'on point' accessibility with carefully laid out sections and activities - but, most importantly, this subject has been brought up to date in the quickly changing health sector. The content contains an impressive range of content from ethics, teaching and learning to global partnerships working. Links to both the most recent NMC guidelines, and essential literature that has been published since the first edition, makes this a recommended text for any individual or nursing cohort. -- Dawn Morley This second edition of the successful nursing textbook, Transition to Professional Practice is designed to support both the student nurse who is preparing for registration or the newly qualified Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registrant. Each chapter addresses a pertinent professional issue, to strengthen understanding and promote personal development. These include topics such as being in charge, and accountability and the law. The new edition has been reviewed and updated to reflect current health policy, such as NHS Plan (2019) and the updated NMC (2018) education standards . Each chapter features useful activities to support and consolidate learning such as reflection points and case studies - it will therefore support both the NMC revalidation processes for registered nurses of all fields, as well as providing a comprehensive, accessible resource for supporting the development of nurses at any stage of their career. -- Deborah C. Casey This is the book I wished I'd had as I transitioned from student nurse to Registered Nurse as I was handed the keys after being qualified 3 days and left in charge. However, that was then and this is now, thankfully. It addresses our current climate and culture and considers how newly registered nurses will equip themselves to work effectively in it, as confident , competent compassionate practitioners. I will be recommending this book to all my students and newly qualified nurses to utilise throughout Preceptorship and beyond. It expertly covers all the anxieties and concerns faced by a newly qualified nurse. It provides an opportunity for them to reflect on how far they have come during their training and a chance to think about where they would like to go during their career and consider the kind of nurse they want to be. The theories concepts and models are helpful tools and will undoubtedly help; importantly though this book combines theory with practical considerations allowing for individual personal growth and development. -- Jackie Murphy This book, Edited by Dr. Rob Burton , and Dr. Graham Ormrod, will prove an invaluable guide to all student nurses transitioning to qualified status, and embarking on their careers in nursing. It is an essential read for all those who are developing into autonomous professionals in their chosen nursing fields and careers. Structured into chapters by eminent contributors, it is packed full of extremely useful critical discussion and analysis of policies, theories and learning materials, which the reader will find stimulates debate, reflection, and knowledge acquisition. I would thoroughly recommend that all nurses read this superb addition to the growing body of knowledge in professional transitioning. -- Dr. Warren Gillibrand
