Nursing and Midwifery Portfolios: Evidence of Continuing Competence, 2nd edition (ISBN 9780729540780) is the Australian gold-standard textbook that turns the dreaded “portfolio” into a powerful career asset. Written by leading nursing academics Kate Andre and Marie Heartfield, this practical paperback walks both student and registered nurses—plus midwives—step-by-step through building a living, evidence-rich portfolio that satisfies national competency standards and impresses employers. Unlike generic how-to guides, this edition is mapped to the NMBA and ICM frameworks, so every template, reflection prompt and assessment rubric aligns with the exact language auditors and recruiters expect to see.
What makes this copy especially sought-after is its up-to-date 2nd-edition content: new chapters on digital portfolios, revalidation requirements, and inter-professional collaboration; 40 % more worked examples; and downloadable forms that save hours of formatting. Buyers repeatedly praise the “competency cross-referencing grids” that let you drop in CPD certificates, patient feedback, or reflection notes and instantly see which standards you have already evidenced and where the gaps are. No other midwifery or nursing text combines legal compliance, career marketing and academic rigor in one streamlined package.
Because it is published by Elsevier Australia and written for the local market, the language, case studies and regulatory references are 100 % relevant to Australian and New Zealand practice—no need to translate UK or US requirements. Whether you are an undergraduate compiling your first placement portfolio, a new grad applying for a grad-year position, or an experienced nurse preparing for portfolio-based performance review, this gently-used, inscription-free copy gives you the same high-quality content as the campus bookstore edition at a fraction of the price.
