I found this book to be very helpful in understanding computers in relation to nursing. I found that it explains things really well and makes the learning easier & it explains things in a way that I found very useful. This is one of those books that I will not sell back.
This is absolutely one of the worst textbooks I have ever had to read and my professor assigned every chapter! This is a supposedly 2013 copyright, yet some information is out of date and not useful. This book has no glossary and no clear definitions given for many, many important terms and concepts. This was a struggle to read. Virtual simulations are discussed barely and that is the new technology many emphasize in nursing education. The information on personal health records and EMRs was sketchy and confusing and not fully explained. This book is just awful and tortuous! Many concepts are confusing and poorly explained such as nursing informatics, health informatics, consumer informatics, which is a subset of which, etc. Just explain and define it without trying to confuse and trick the reader. This is a great book for a professor to concoct trick questions on tests and confusing, complicated questions which are irrelevant in the real world. I know--my professor used the standardized test bank that came with this book. Horrible!!
It's brand new, very helpful and they are in good shape just like describe in the picture. Shipment was faster than I was expecting. I ordered on Friday night and got some of my books on a SUNDAY. Are you kidding? what company deliver merchandises on a Sunday? Absolutely RECOMMANDING IT
This is a very good and comprehensive book at a reasonableprice. It covers many latest topics.For example, mHealth is covered in detail even though it is a relatively new topic.Good value for your money.Prof. Sai Vemulakonda
Yes, this book was an easy read, but technology is moving at a rapid pace, and although this book was made in 2013, a lot of the information included in the text are already outdated. Some of the URL addresses included in this book also don't exist anymore. Some topics were also just passing fads, which just show how outdated this book already is. And as I do understand there are some people who don't know how to make a powerpoint or use a word-processing system, I don't see a reason for each of those topics having their own chapters. I think this book focused more on describing the current technology, rather than the impact and role it has towards nursing.
The product was exactly as described. Very pleased with the shipping process, including the packaging. Received in expected timeframe. Great experience, will definitely return for purchases in the future.
this is not a textbook- it is a collection of peer review papers by the author. A textbook usually has a simpler to read format with summaries, vocabulary, and key points with plenty of diagrams and other methods to make learning the material easier. I highly recommend looking for another, more useful, textbook for this topic.
There are NOT any page numbers listed or referenced in the digital edition of this book unfortunately!!! This presents major issues when trying to follow your instructor's syllabus for pages within the book and chapter that you need to read. Even worse, when trying to cite your references in APA format -- there aren't any page numbers to cite for passages that you are directly quoting or paraphrasing.All previous digital versions of School Textbooks that I have purchased included this vital information on each page, as well as in the Table of Contents. This book DOES NOT!!! Therefore, this digital version of a school book is proving more trouble than it's worth. FIX THIS PROBLEM PLEASE!!!!
