I am currently studying Nursing Informatics in a Master's Certification Course. I loved this book! It was user friendly and covered a variety of topics. It was very easy to read and understand. Since this is a new specialty in Nursing, most of us are starting at ground zero. This is a great place to start!

This is a very good book for an introductory course in Nursing Informatics. If you are already a nurse informaticist, you will find little new here, however.

I bought the book because it is required for a class I am taking. It goes over basic computer information and goes into how to decide what system will work for your situation and how to train folks etc.
It is not leisure reading, but a good resource book. I;m only half way through it and I have not started the class yet. (I read ahead).

I would recommend reading this on top of other nursing informatics books out there. Unfortunately for some beginners like myself (with no qualification) it's not very engaging and find it slightly too 'geeky' for me to understand. I would use it for quick reference but not something you use to study upon.

This was required reading for a doctoral course. I have an interest in informatics; nevertheless, I found the book repetitive and uninteresting. Almost every chapter waxes on about the merits of forming committees to investigate choices, involving the end-point users etc. This only needs to be said once, not in every single chapter. The book could be a 1/3d of its size without all the repetition. There are better, more concise books on the topic, I'm sure.

This book was very helpful for two of my nursing informatics class. I bought the book to help me in passing the class with an A and it helped.

This seller was great to deal with. Super fast shipping and very accurate description. Book was in new condition. Thanks for the great experience. Will definitely use you again when I need more books.

Perfect book for Review for certification in nursing informatics.
It does not cover everything, you will need supplemental books also.
Covers alot!

Great item, as described. Quick shipping. This book is great. It is easy to read and follow and offers up-to-date information related to the real world of informatics.

The product was great. The book took awhile to get to me. I contacted the seller who pointed me to the "rules of shipping" and "the shipping method that I chose" and said that it may take awhile to get to me. The other books I purchased (from other sellers) shipped next day under the same rules and I received them within 2 days. I am not sure if my order was misplaced and corrected when I contacted the seller wondering where my book was, or if it just took that long and was within shipping parameters. Over all the product was of good quality and as described so I wanted to leave positive feedback. I probably will not buy from this seller again on short notice, but I would if I had a month to get the book, or was willing to pay for faster shipping. The seller did respond to my communications in a timely and professional manner.
