This review examines the fourth edition of Julio Gimenez’s Writing for Nursing and Midwifery Students, a comprehensive discipline-specific book designed to support undergraduate and postgraduate stu-dents in nursing, midwifery, and healthcare fields. The review evaluates the book’s structure, which progresses from foundational academic writing principles through genre-specific instruction to ad-vanced textual mechanics and referencing conventions. Particular attention is given to the pedagogical enhancements introduced in the fourth edition, including self-assessment tools, comprehensive cover-age of specialized nursing and midwifery contexts, and alignment with contemporary, evidence-based practice. The review highlights the book’s distinctive student-centred approach, characterized by nu-merous exercises, reflective activities, and practical examples drawn from diverse clinical settings. While recognizing the volume’s substantial contributions to academic writing in healthcare education, the review proposes three enhancements for future editions: guidance on the ethical integration of ar-tificial intelligence in academic writing, expanded coverage of advanced research genres for postgrad-uate students, and incorporation of multimodal digital resources to address the learning preferences of contemporary student cohorts. The review concludes that Gimenez’s work constitutes an essential resource for nursing and midwifery students navigating the complex demands of academic and pro-fessional writing, effectively bridging theoretical understanding with practical application throughout students’ academic and early professional development.
