Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I have been a registered nurse for 25 years and recently returned to school for an advanced degree. I am using this text in one of my courses and have found it to be a real gem. Full of information, very objective presentation, research substantiation and nursing implications are included. very comprehensive. a super book and I plan to give copies as gifts to nurse friends.
