Becoming a Nurse : A Hermeneutic Study of the Experiences of Student Nurses on a Project 2000 Course

Presenting revealing insights into the Project 2000 courses, this book examines the original, creative and evolutionary research processes which led to the identification of student nurses' unique and common experiences, and portrays the learning milieu in which students developed a self-concept of being a nurse. It represents a key contribution to understanding student reflection and development, forms of teaching, leadership and supervision, and student exposure to a variety of experiences in clinical practice.
