Critical thinking and writing is central to effective nursing practice. Written specifically for nursing students, this book offers practical guidance on what it means to think critically as a nurse and how to apply this to study and practice. From critically reviewing literature for assessments to evaluating evidence to support decision-making in practice, the book provides a unique framework for developing essential critical skills.

Coming from the Transforming Nursing Practice series, this book follows the same format and structure of its counterparts. However, the level of this book is somewhat elevated. It is not tailored to meet the need of novice student nurses who are just beginning to develop their critical thinking skills, it would be ideal for those looking to delve into more advanced concepts. Individuals seeking a more introductory and accessible resource may find this book challenging.
A well-structured book with application wider than nursing - I will be putting this forward for addition to the reading list for BSc health and social care.
This text should help guide students in developing their critical thinking and writing skills.
It provides good clear information on how to apply critical thinking to assignments, and to the evidence that they need to read up on.
Assists with Module learning.
Relevant, practical, accessible, ideal study guide.
The academic level of the text is too high for the students and does not fully suit the curriculum's content.
I did not receive this title as a book - so was unable to review this.
