The book The Student Nurse Handbook is written by Bethann Siviter. The first edition of the SNH was written when I was still a student, in a degree course that I took immediately after my Dip (HE); to be honest, I started the degree (district nursing) before the Diploma was technically finished (I was in a rush). On the first day of the District Nursing course, I had my driver’s license practical test (a driver’s license is a requirement for the course), so again, here was a student facing an evaluation at the last possible moment: just coming out of the student experience, Still reeling and so close to placements, assignments, and expectations, and facing at least one more year as a student, albeit a different type of student (one with a grade), I felt like I knew what students needed.
A second edition written by a more experienced nurse might lose the knowledge and sensitivity of the first edition. In the end, I felt strongly that I couldn’t give up this book, and my connection to the students through it, any more than I could give up nursing itself. My commitment to you is even stronger now than it was in the first edition, as so many of you came to hear me speak, wrote to me, and said, “Yes, I needed that book!” I needed it too and I didn’t realize how much it meant to me to give it to you.
