Looking back on my nurse training, I can vividly recall clinical placements where I was mentored by inspirational, dynamic, enthusiastic, and nurturing mentors. However, I can equally recall the toxic mentors that ruined clinical placements and made me question whether I wanted to be a nurse at all! Supporting students in clinical practice is a privilege, and getting it right is essential! Danny Walshs book demystifies the NMCs SSSA document and provides a real insight into the meaning of the word mentorship, along with practical advice on how to be a practice supervisor.
