Granted, Dr. Yoder-Wise TAUGHT my leadership class is nursing school so we HAD to buy her book, but it has been the most useful book to me since I graduated from Texas Tech in '99. I have used the CV and resume' forms multiple times for job applications and graduate school. It's packed full of very useful information. Lots of good sources for legal/ethical and cultural diversity for paper writing too!

As a RN student in a leadership class using this book, I found it to be incredibly dry and hard to read. It is more geared toward RNs going into management or leadership positions, not nursing students.

Patricia Yoder-Wise blends the attributes which nurses exhibit in their practice, care and compassion, knowledge and skill, and logically demonstrates their application in leadership and management areas of nursing. Throughout the book, whether discussing the management of people or resources, Yoder-Wise emphasizes the need for nurses to continue to learn, to care, and maintain their passion for nursing.

The class I am in is using the 4th edition of this book (this is the 3rd)and sell it at the campus bookstore for $48. I found the 3rd edition on Amazon for $0.17. No noticable difference between the two, except the price!

THIS BOOK GIVES YOU ALL THE STRAIGHTFORWARD INFO YOU SHOULD KNOW ALREADY...IT'S COMMON SENSE STUFF...TOTALLY BORING BUT I NEEDED IT FOR MY NURSING CLASS SO...OH WELL...ANOTHER ONE FOR THE FIRE

Practical strategies and conceptual knowledge! Incorporates theory, research and practical applications in an format that is easy to read and understand.

The book is detailed and thorough. Not too dry. Appropriate proportions between colors, pictures and text. Easy to read and understand.

The book was good but the version I received was not what I wanted and I don't know where to return it to. May someone tell me please.

I am impressed with this book. It is easy to read. The chapters are organized well.
In terms of Amazon's shipping, it was extremely fast and arrived on the day it was promised.

I recently ordered this book and was satisfied with its condition. I received the soft cover version of this textbook and the only flaws that were noted was some slight wear and tear to the front and back covers in that it showed the general signs of usage i.e. hairline scratches of the covers and a slight tear of the front cover near the spine of the book and a few minor creases in both front and back covers. The pages were all intact with no highlighting, notes in the margin or underlining. This book was a good purchase .
