5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book on professional research in health care,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theoretical Nursing: Development and Progress (Hardcover)
Theoretical Nursing is not only well written and researched - it's also very readable. Its significance goes well beyond epistemological issues related to nursing. The author does a great job of balancing breadth and depth of the very appropriately chosen topics. Concepts are readily applicable to other disciplines and leave enough room for critical evaluation. The bibliography is excellent.

This review is from: Theoretical Nursing: Development and Progress (Hardcover)
Required for a theory class.Written poorly. So dense I spent hours reading it and didn't feel like I gained anything. Ended up buying additional texts on the same material that were better written.

This review is from: Theoretical Nursing: Development and Progress (Hardcover)
I ordered this book because it was required for a class I was taking. The author is well known throughout the profession for her contributions, but I found the book difficult to understand and follow, especially with the reference for every other word in the sentence. The text for me, read more like an opinionated reference list. Good Luck!
