This book was required for my nursing school - BSN program. I feel the selection of books my program chose were all very informative, to the point and we used the books for the classes that required them. During nursing school most people do not know where their career will take them, there are so many options the RN has available, so building a strong foundation is essential to success in the field. Nursing books are not written to be entertaining they are for educational purpose only. This book definitely offered education. After you graduate school and chose a path then find the best reference book you can find and carry it with you until the day you retire. I always recommend the additional study guide to a book if one is available.
This book is incredible to me. The reason I purchased it is because I am most interested in the psychological aspects of families and coping as they relate to nursing in general. I am currently searching for an area in which to pursue a Ph.D., and I feel this book is going to give me a lot of insight. It seems that some people who purchased this book previously had nothing but complaints, but I would think it was because they were required to purchase it for a class. As far as actual nursing PRACTICE after graduation, the book is not quite as pertinent as, say, a med-surg nursing book. But I would compare it to a psych nursing book or would definitely recommend it as a needed component of a pediatric or geriatric class along with another book that talks about the physiological aspects of nursing those populations. I truly am glad this book was written and am very happy to have found it on . I think it covers a very needed aspect of nursing that may too often be neglected in educating our nurses in school! LOVE IT!!!
I love this book. I found every chapter informative and easy to understand. I used this book for my family nursing class and it was right on the money. This is one book you will not want to sell back.
A very good book for nursing school; or just a view on family, and individual nursing theories. Very informative and can be used as a great review tool for practitioner exams, or nursing exams.
Well yes, it's a college book, did what is was supposed to do as far as teaching. However, I felt the chapters dragged on and on and on...well you get the point. It is a good resource book for papers though.
concise and easy to read. the concepts are presented in a way that they are easy to understand. i definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in family nursing.
Predominant information is a review for me and unfortunately it needs to be rewritten so that it contains more current information in some areas. It is required reading for a class I'm teaching but with new concepts and expectations in my profession we need textbooks that are being updated more frequently to better represent the current requirements of our practice. It was in good condition when it arrived and very timely.
The material in this book on Hispanic culture is vague, full of stereotypes and not erudite. I was extremely disappointed to find that this book contains numerous undocumented statements as fact, many of which are nothing short of insulting to the Hispanic community. Without a good editor before the next edition is published this book runs the risk of perpetrating discriminatory practice in the nursing profession. Please, do those of us who are Hispanic a favor and hire a Hispanic editor (yes, they do exist).
