1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of words, little meaning, January 11, 2011

Carol V. Hale - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nursing in Today's World: Trends, Issues, and Management (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)

I am a nursing student, and I spend alot of time with my textbooks. I usually enjoy reading the chapters as I learn much more from books than I do in class.

I regret to say this book is one of the worst I have come across.

Paragraph after paragraph of poor organization and pompous fluff is packed in this book. The book is very poorly organized and communicates almost NOTHING.

I realize textbooks cannot fluster anyones feathers so they must be as politically correct as possible, but this book tiptoes around even the most basic uncontroversial issues.

If you do not need this for class and want an overview of nursing, I recommend Fundamentals of Nursing by Potter & Parry. It is WAY better organized than this worthless book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Nursing in Today's World: Trends, Issues, and Management (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)

Book arrived in great condition. Will work perfect for my study of Excelsior College RN program. I am a Paramedic taking the bridge to RN so this is a great reference for the materials being asked about in the exams.

1.0 out of 5 stars too wordy
Too much extraneous information. Too wordy and doesnt get to the point.
