3.0 out of 5 stars Clinical Nurse Specialist Handbook, September 6, 2009

This review is from: Clinical Nurse Specialist Handbook (Paperback)

The book came to me in the mail, but I can't use it. I needed the newer version for school, which I had to buy at the college bookstore. Now I'm sitting here with an extra book that has no value to me. I posted it online at Amazon.com but so far not a bite at a cheaper fee than I paid for it, and it's a brand new text. It likely will be sitting around here forever. If anyone has an interest, I'd love to hear from them. It's primarily for the appreciation of a Clinical Nurse Specialist.
