Annotation: The nursing role has evolved to become a high profile professional discipline in which further education has become increasingly important. This has resulted in a large increase in the number of nurses wishing to study for doctorates, but, until now, there has been no text specifically related to doctoral education in the nursing or midwifery context. This book fills that gap and takes a truly international approach to examining best practice in doctoral education, covering the following topics:
- what doctoral study in nursing involves
- the roles of the student, the supervisor, the awarding institution
- the doctoral process
- quality indicators
- funding
- models of international exchange
- postdoctoral study
This book will rapidly become an indispensable source of reference for doctoral students and their mentors, wherever they are pursuing their research.
