This book is for my Intro Nursing class and it is nothing but exceptional. It provides the foundation to my professional nursing career. It is extremely thorough giving a background on the history of nursing and how to advance the nursing field. Highly recommend

Perfect condition and just what I needed for school. It's not a fun read for me though, only have it cuz it's required.

Interesting read regarding nursing as a profession. The book begins with nursing history and the complexity it has developed to in the Healthcare industry. Good new perspective on how nursing is.

The book was good for the cost!!

This was the book I needed. The material was a bit boring but I needed for my class.
