New! Think Like a Nurse Student Textbooks

$49.95 – $159.95

These practical, integrated textbooks prepare nursing students for professional practice.

Nursing students are overwhelmed with the massive amount of content they are expected to memorize and master to pass the next test. This results in their inability to identify what content they should deeply understand to apply in clinical practice.

Each textbook teaches nursing students and new nurses how to successfully transition to clinical practice. These textbooks highlight essential curriculum content and show how a nurse can apply knowledge to provide safe patient care.

As worktexts, these resources should not just be read, but faculty should interact with and engage students by discussing the content. Each page has wide margins for students to take notes and respond to numerous callout icons to pause, reflect, and identify key takeaways. Practice “pearls” created by expert nurses are sprinkled throughout to facilitate transitioning successfully to clinical practice.

Each volume builds from one book to the next and emphasizes the application of knowledge with numerous worksheets, case studies, and activities to develop essential knowledge and clinical judgment skills.
