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.

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.

Received this book very quickly and was in perfect shape. The packaging was professional and done well. Thank you again!

I purchased this book as Used-Good and was uncertain of what to expect upon its delivery the cost of the book and S&H was under $12.00 which is exceptional for the purchase of any college textbook. When I received this item I was so pleasantly surprised to see that the condition of the book was perfect with the only flaws being a few creases to the front and back upper left hand corner of the book closest to the spine and a few hairline scratches showing use. This book had no underlining, notes in the margin or highlighting. I was pleasently pleased with the condition of this book for the price I paid. I would have to say I definately got a BARGAN.

Too much extraneous information. Too wordy and doesnt get to the point.
Chapters are way to long for what it is trying to convey.

book was delivered fast! and in great condition! would definitely order from the same buyer again!

This book is required for 2 classes I am enrolled in and written pretty well. There is not alot of fluff and is pretty straight forward.

This book is easy to read, but quite honestly I purchased this because it was required of my school. I have not found it to be that useful, or interesting to make time to read the chapters through. A bit on the boring side.

This guidebook of the challenges, issues and trends in today's world of nursing is organized into four multi-chapter sections;

EDUCATION

LEGAL & ETHICAL ACCOUNTABILITY

ECONOMICS

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

"Nursing in Today's World: Challenges, Issues, and Trends" was written by nurses for nurses and is a must read for those entering the field and an interesting refresher for seasoned, professional nursing veterans.

The class is only one credit, so I didn't expect a mountain of information in the textbook. It was an intresting read, though, giving a great overview of the world of nursing. Well worth the money.
