Almost no difference from previous versions and as with many other college books hardly had to use at all. Glad there's such a great resource for renting these at a much lower cost than buy. Only needed for the 5 weeks of the class and even then once again was hardly opened.
Unfortunately, this book was kinda boring to read. And a lot of repetitions in the book that lead to a vry boring read. Other than the materials in this book is covered by many manufactuerers already.
The authors have some pretty strong political opinions and there is an assumption that if you are a "good nurse" you will agree with them. Sorry, I don't. I would have preferred it if the information was presented in a way that would allow the reader to draw their own implications.
Overall a decent text book. Yes it does lean to the left politically but does provide comprehensive coverage of the topics presented and as far as the book itself I have no problems with it. Required for my class easy reading that's about all you can ask. Kindle version. One star off for being clearly biased politically
This is the only book on policy and politics that a nurse needs. It contains the voices of dozens of nurses who are leaders. It offers content for nurses just starting to learn the ropes of policy and politics and for those with experience who want to be more effective in advocacy. This is the 7th edition of the book - and that says a lot. It means that for many years this book has made a difference in helping nurses be effective advocates for patients and for improvements in the health system. When an earlier version of this book was required reading in one of my nursing courses, it changed my career. I'm grateful the editors continue to revise and improve it to reflect changes in nursing and healthcare. This is a truly important book!
Excellent text updating policy issues nursing faces in today's healthcare environment. The expertise of the writers is clearly evident in the book's content. I was pleased to see that AJN affirmed my own opinion by recognizing the outstanding relevance to practice of this seventh edition.
Very useful and informative textbook! Authors present a wide array of topics and perspectives. This is a good guidebook for nursing students in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. The personal accounts are moving and inspiring. I can understand why this won so many American Journal of Nursing "Book of the Year" awards!
Its a very interesting book. Ive learned a lot already and not even halfway through it yet
