5.0 out of 5 stars Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care (4th Edition), November 16, 2005
By Josephine C. Ridad (Fairfield, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like this book. It is very informative, comprehensive and well-researched. The manner of presentation is well-organized, the language is easy to understand. The information, relevant to the current issues of this decade and past history. This is a very good reference for those who are taking health care infrastructure, especially nurses; or for those who want to learn the history, evolution and course of health care in U.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative Text, October 30, 2007
By Jane Reader (Albemarle, NC United States) - See all my reviews
Although I bought this as a required course textbook, I found it full of useful information for any professional nurse. I highly recommend it to all nurses to become more aware of how policy and politics affect our careers and practice.
