This really is a pretty good book with an excellent overview of many issues faced by today's nurses and student nurses. However there was a lot of repetition, for which it received 4 stars, (but perhaps the authors did this on purpose to drill what I found to be fairly dry reading into our heads?). This book may not go completely in depth into the subject materials as it seems to be more of a broad based introductory reading but it more than makes up with the abundant offerings of outside sources it provides for one to be able to fully explore any further issues or questions that have caught your attention.
A great companion to have handy and I don't have lots of notes to take as the book is right in front of me. It is easy to follow. I love having this and of course as usual has the best price by far!
Delivered in 3 days - with regular shipping - great time and much better price than the school bookstore! The book is compact and smaller than a regular textbook but the print is large enough for easy reading. This book has the same outline and formatting as the other nursing books in the Elsevier/Evolve series.
I enjoy the text. I am learning a lot and did not realize how much is involved in nursing today. The text outlines the basics in contemporary nursing issues, and gives references by links to further your studies. Very well written!
The 6th addition is much thinner than the 5th and 4th. I feel it is a quicker read than the other previous additions. The nice thing is I get to read this version on my Kindle with the new formatting of the text. I do not think this was available in the previous versions.
This book is required for my class in nursing school. The book isn't too big and the chapters are relatively short (15-20 pages). It's easy to read and not too boring. I like all the colors and highlighting the authors used when creating the layout of the book.
I received this book very fast. First time trying Rentals for textbooks. I have it the entire semester. It is in great condition too. I'm unable to say whether or not it is a great book just yet, hence 4 stars out of 5....class starts in 2 weeks.
This book is a good resource. It did help me with my research project. Easy to read and understand.It clearly gives you the idea of what contemporary nursing is all about.
