Passing Your Advanced Nursing OSCE: A Guide to Success in Advanced Clinical Skills Assessment
English | 2021 | ISBN: 184619234X | 190 Pages | PDF (True) | 9.32 MB
This book aims to provide an easily accessible quick reference guide for advanced nursing students preparing to undertake practical examinations to assess advanced clinical practice competence, and students preparing for practical examinations in non-medical prescribing assessment. These examinations are commonly known as objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs). The book is a preparation and revision tool, designed to be read in conjunction with any recommended core clinical textbooks: however, along with giving students step-by-step instructions on performing well in OSCE scenarios, it also gives guidance to academic staff on preparing to teach and mark OSCEs. This book uses a case study approach to OSCEs in a coherent, consistent, and easily understandable style. Both authors are clinical academic nurse practitioners who regularly work in clinical practice in conjunction with teaching advanced nurse practitioner and non-medical prescribing students.

From the early nineteenth century onwards, millions of people left their homes to cross the seas. Some, like the convicts transported from England to Australia, had no choice; others like the indentured Indian and Chinese laborers had almost no alternative; but the vast majority of emigrants were driven to escape war, famine or grinding poverty. Whatever their circumstances and wherever their destination, the one experience they all shared in common was the sea voyage.

Organofluorine Chemistry By
2006 | 348 Pages | ISBN: 1405125616 | PDF | 3 MB
The replacement of hydrogen with fluorine in organic molecules can profoundly influence their chemical and physical properties, leading to a range of compounds with highly desirable properties. These molecules are of interest across the wide spectrum of industrial and academic organic chemistry, so that organofluorine chemistry is economically highly important. Organofluorine Chemistry will help chemists to develop a systematic knowledge of the chemistry of fluorine with a view towards its application in the design of new reactions and syntheses, and the creation of novel fluorinated molecules and materials. With initial chapters focusing on why fluorine creates such unique properties in organic compounds, the book then covers general reactions of fluorine. Coverage is chosen from the recent research literature, concentrating on the development of novel bioactive compounds and catalytic ligands, and explaining, in the context of the initial chapters, how and why fluorine is so effective. With a final chapter covering the general synthetic chemistry of organofluorine compounds, the book is a cohesive summary of the fundamental principals of organofluorine chemistry.Content: Chapter 1 Fundamentals in Organic Fluorine Chemistry (pages 1-100): Chapter 2 Unique Reactions Incluced by Fluorine (pages 101-138): Chapter 3 Reactions Activated by a Strong Interaction Between Fluorine and Other Atoms (pages 139-172): Chapter 4 Hydrogen Bonding in Organofluorine Compounds (pages 173-185): Chapter 5 Fluorinated Ligands for Selective Catalytic Reactions (pages 186-205): Chapter 6 Fluorine in Drug Designs (pages 206-222): Chapter 7 Method for Introduction of Fluorine?Functionality Into Molecules (pages 223-336):
