Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book presents the challenges that nurses face in today's healthcare arena. To date, there is no other contemporary issues book that uses the viewpoint/debate format. None cover the breadth of topics that this book does. This edition fills a gap in current nursing issues texts."
- Carole A. Kenner (University of Oklahoma College of Nursing), Doody Review Services --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I am a grad student working on my master's in nursing. This is a required book for the curriculum but even if it wasn't, I would probably buy it for my personal use as an educator in the hospital. It serves to enrich my knowledge in many areas of nursing.
