Riddlebarger (Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Although it was required of my community nursing course for me to purchase this textbook, I am deeply disappointed in it. This book is difficult to read, understand, and lug around. It seems the authors went out of their way to make this book as complicated as possible for the nursing student. It is not organized well, and it seems some information just keeps repeating and repeating. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, April 14, 2008 By  Teesha (New York) - See all my reviews This book is horrible. I wasted money buying this book for my Community Nursing class. I can count how many times I opened this joke of a book. Whatever you do, don't waste your money. Look for like a prentice hall review book or something to that nature. Waste of time reading.		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
