| Summary |
Pre-registration nurse training across the UK is now competency based and this is the first mental health nursing text devoted to this approach. It explores the practical application of a competency based Exit Profile for mental health nursing students, which ensures that there is consistency in the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes that mental health nursing students will acquire by the end of their educational programmes, while maintaining an acceptable level of flexibility to be responsive to local needs. The book explores the use of Exit Profile competencies within a range of clinical settings and across a variety of mental health client groups, and provides mental health nurses with the necessary foundation knowledge required to enable them to integrate theory and practice when evidencing competence.--PUBLISHER |
