Ebook Writing for Nursing and Midwifery Students
One of the most difficult tasks we are faced with when we enter university is
writing. Not only are we asked to deal with new content, we are also required to
engage in new intellectual processes and, in many cases, we must even learn to
organize and structure knowledge in new ways. Writing, and especially writing
assignments, becomes even more taxing for adult students who have been away
from formal education for quite some time and come back to university via top-up
courses or ‘back-to-practice’ programmes.
This book has been designed and organized to help you with your writing tasks
throughout your undergraduate programme. It combines the theoretical
approach of a textbook with the practical activities of a workbook.
Starting with the basic principles of writing at university level, the book first
explores the academic essay, then analyses typical genres such as the care critique
and the article review, and finally deals with argumentative writing and
preparation for the undergraduate dissertation. It includes authentic essay
questions and examples at different levels of writing, along with exercises on how
to write more effective nursing and midwifery texts.
The book also includes:
An examination of different referencing systems such as the Harvard and the
American Psychological Association (APA) styles.
An introduction to the most common bibliographical software used at
universities.
A glossary of key terms that expands on the core concepts presented in the
‘glossary boxes’ in the book and that provides further examples.
A list of further readings and resources that includes links to web-based
materials.
Suggested answers to activities, which will be very useful if you are working
on your own.
An achievement chart to help you keep a record of your progress
