I would like a refund on this ebook. There are no page numbers in order to complete reading assignments. It is completely worthless as a textbook. Now I'll have to buy it again in paper format. Save your money on renting or purchasing the ebook students.
I had to buy this book for my community nursing class. Please know, this book has LOTS of fluff. I guess since I am used to med surg and acute books with factual, succinct information and this book goes too far into examples and extra.Pro: its a paper back (lighter weight)Con: its a paper back (easier to rip, "auto" closes because the book is light weight).If you HAVE to buy this book, look for a used version. It's not bookshelf worthy after purchasing so minimize it's use and resell it.
Boring,and lengthy chapters. Community Nursing is suppose to be interesting, but writer manage to put you to sleep. Thank god my school decided to use the one by Stephen Paul Holzemer/Marilyn Klainberg. Short and to the point.
Horrible book and poorly written. Grammatical errors throughout the book and it is not an easy read. it gives a lot of useless information that makes me think " what did I just read?" I hope to never purchase another book from these authors again.
Like another reviewer, I find a lot of this book to be "fluff". While the concepts are important, they could be stated and explained a lot more succinctly.My biggest complaint, however, pertains specifically to the Kindle version: While the content may be the same as the print edition, the layout is not. Formatting of charts and tables is lost, making information harder to find, and there are NO PAGE NUMBERS! So if the teacher says to refer to a particular page number for the assignment, I can't do that. I would highly recommend against purchasing this textbook in Kindle format, or any other Kindle textbook that doesn't specify "Print Replica" layout with actual page numbers.
Extremely lengthy, drawn-out, redundant, and "fluffy" book. Many of the sections on certain topics could be shortened into about a paragraph, yet the authors take one to two full pages to explain something. Sentences are repeated verbatim throughout each chapter and sometimes, repeated in other chapters of the book. Aside from that, the grammar, spelling, and punctuation in this book really could have been proofread more, which is something that personally drives me crazy. Sorry, but the authors could have made their point in a tenth of the length they did.
As someone at the end of their second bachelors, I can tell you that this is one of the worst texts I have ever been forced to buy. The other, realistic, reviews cover the worst points well: ridiculously repetitive, grammatical errors, overly wordy, and full of fluff. For such a worthy subject, this text does not do it justice.
At least on this book the page numbers do show up. Wish that it didn't repeat itself so much from chapter to chapter. The same concepts are talked about in almost every chapter. Makes it pretty repetative.
