 A Book ReviewFeb 15, 2011
By JNGO
I bought this book for my nursing seminar class and I must say, I really like it!
I really appreciate the anecdotes and various case studies that helps the nursing prospective
student get the big picture about a certain concept in the clinical setting.
This book is a good book for understanding what nursing is all about.
Good book for the class I had.Jan 17, 2012
By B. Mason
I want to say first, contact your instructor before classes start to make sure that you are going to be using the textbook.
I orderd most of mine online and I used the heck out of this one. The class syllabus stated the assignments were all over the place. The material on the tests, assignment, and papers were all from the book and from doing research.
I definately got my money's worth but now I no longer need it.
good textDec 18, 2011
By Sonam Christopher
"Sonam's Andhra kitchen"
good textbook, provided a good background for the professional nursing and its history and other subjects easy to read and well organized
 Interesting, very basic.Nov 28, 2011
By sinisterLefty
Textbook is interesting I suppose, but very very basic, like 8th grade reading level at best. Perhaps the most (or only) useful section is the chapter which describes the historical backdrop from which professional nursing emerged, which provides a concise, readable narrative of modern nursing's development. Other than that, this book is hard to recommend. I guess its cheap, so that's a plus, but even so I'm not sure why you'd buy this book, given a cursory search returns many results pertaining to the same material collected herein. This text was part of a mandatory reading list for a nursing seminar, but it was barely touched, and for me and many of my peers, redundant, overly simple, and completely unnecessary for older, mature students.

I received my product very fast and was very happy with it. Just as described and would buy from this seller again anytime. Most likely for second semester :)
