Foreword
As General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, I fully recognise the pressures placed on our nursing students and, through it all, admire their commitment and passion for the profession.
No student nurse could read Bethann's book and come away without experiencing an impact on their nursing practice. Although not a clinical handbook, it gives the student an understanding of the importance of good clinical practice and the models that underpin it. Not merely an informational resource, it gives examples and information in a humorous and useful way, helping the student develop insight and a personal understanding of the whys and wherefores of nursing, as well as an understanding of resources such as the NMC and their guidance for practice.
Bethann asks the student to develop into a self-motivated, responsible, pro-active, thinking professional-in-development who is working to learn how to organise, plan and prioritise their care for their patient's benefit. Recognising that practice areas can be potentially hazardous places, she reinforces important legal and ethical concepts as well as interpersonal and communication skills. She also guides the student into accepting that they are right to be proud of their accomplishments, of their profession and their skill, not with an arrogant closed-off approach, but in a fair and objective manner so they can just as easily recognise and accept weaknesses, working to use one to overcome the other. Focusing on reflection as the way to do this, she gives a clear message - this is your nursing and you are in control. Be the kind of nurse you know your patient needs you to be. For many students, it may be the first time they have been told by someone in authority that their career and their development truly lie in their own hands.
Readers of the first edition said they felt as if Bethann had become a friend, helping them prepare for practice and invest in their success, and this edition continues that trend. From her writing and the work she does on behalf of students through the RCN, Bethann has proven her genuine care for and investment in student nurses; so, in closing, I would say the best way to describe Bethann and her books is in the same language: a valuable resource and caring friend for student nurses.
I am sure every student will find this a useful, valuable and insightful text to encourage and guide them through their course and into their nursing career.
I wish you well in your education and into your future career nursing is a great profession you have chosen well!

Preface
The first edition of the SNH was written while I was still a student myself, in a BSc course I undertook on the heels of my Dip(HE) to be honest, I started the BSc (District Nursing) before the Diploma was technically finished (I was in a hurry). The first day of the District Nurse course, I had my driver's license practical test (a driving license being a requirement for the course), so again, there I was a student facing assessment at the last possible moment: fresh from the student experience, still reeling and still so close to placements, assignments and expectations, and facing at least one more year as a student, although a different kind of student (one with a qualification), I felt I knew what students needed.
At first we thought we should find another student to refresh this book: a second edition written by a more experienced nurse might lose the awareness and sensitivity of the first edition. In the end, I felt strongly that I could no more give up this book, and my connection to students through it, than I could give up nursing itself. My commitment to you is even stronger now than in the first edition, as so many of you have come to hear me speak, written to me, said to me Yes, I needed that book! I needed it, too, and I didn't realise how much it meant to me to give it to you.
