This is a great nursing theory literature currently being used in online Master course . As confusing as theory can get I feel this book does a great job of clearing it up but theory is theory and not every one will feel the same. You do have to possess a love of logic to appreciate this puzzle. I was pleased with the price since this online school was selling at a higher pricing and I received my books in a timely fashion and I love for that.
Pros-A good overview of nursing theory, and theorists. Has tables to break down parts of theories. I Love the fact that is available in E-book format. It is a good reference for a nursing theory course.Cons-Nursing Theory is an abstract subject that necessitates clear explanations. This book is does not give succinct definitions and applicable examples using every day terminology. Instead uses large words that I only have seen on GRE to explain already difficult to grasp concepts.
This book served its purpose, but having a limited amount of of being able to have it read in kindle due to the DMR really makes things difficult. There has to be a better way because half way through the course I couldn't have it read aloud to me and it slowed the precious study time down, I am taking online classes and have to multitask and being able to have kindle for Mac read chapters is essential!
I'm not a big fan of theory, but this book helped to understand what it is, how it's used, and what some of the major theories are. Helpful for my class.
Well written book for nursing students. I was going to start my MSN but was unable due to health problems. I'll keep it until I decide what to do.
Great book. Organized well and though required for my class, I learned a lot from it. I wish I would have purchased it rather than rent!
Very easy read with good summary. Please do not mistake easy read as less scholarly as that is not the case. Great book.
Excellent resource but need additional reading material for details regarding topics
