I bought this book for a summer school class and ended up actually enjoying it. It's full of up-to-date information about all sorts of nursing issues and is easy to read and well laid out.

 Too vague. September 19, 2008

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!
Contemporary Nursing Book October 1, 2007

The book was exactly as described and the shipping was quick (I took the slowest way and they still got it out fast).
What I wanted was a quick reference to all the body systems that could be in a "small" book. If you are in medicine you understand that... After a couple of semesters we all have one arm that is overdeveloped from carrying those massive text books...ha
It's a good resourse
