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.
