 Contemporary Nursing: Issues, Trends, & ManagementJul 05, 2010
By Michael
I would not typically find such a book all that wonderful however, as part of my required reading for my nursing program,I found it quite informative and in some cases eye opening. Many nursing students get hung up on the hands on portion of our work and fail to understand why we do what we do, or the importance of doing it correctly. The legal issues presented in this text help to illuminate the importance of covering ones back-side.

 Too vague.Sep 19, 2008
By TeresaC
"TCstudent"
This book is entirely too vague. I would have liked a bit more factual information. There is a lot of fluff to sort through to get to the meat of the text!

 Wordy Wordy Wordy !Jan 22, 2007
By A. Martin
"RN2B"
This book is entirely to wordy ! Most folks in my class just used the ppt (power point) handed out by the instructor and scored as high on the tests as those of us who bought the book and read it.
The book has GREAT information if you can find it amongst all the extra useless information.
Hope this helped.

Easy reading as far as textbooks go.Nov 20, 2011
By SuperReader
This book is required for my second year nursing courses. As far as nursing textbooks go, this one is a pretty easy read. I like how it highlights key terms in each chapter. I also bought the older edition of the book and the current edition and I found them to be identical. I sold the newer edition and kept the older one and it is working out just fine for me.
