3.0 out of 5 stars Just Bought Ask A Nurse, December 5, 2002

By	TOYA T. POWELL (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care (Hardcover)

This book's information was excellent, but the format used
made it extremely difficult to focus on the extraordinary information. The author chose to pay homage to each of the nurses for their contributions by constantly giving their names and professional initials with every contribution. This was distracting and made for difficult reading. It would have been so much better if it had been footnoted and the names listed at the end. Most of the readers of this book don't know any of the nurses mentioned (sometimes so many listings on a page that you
loose your train of thought). I hope the author will write a new edition with all the names at the end of the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should own it, March 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care (Hardcover)

This is really a helpful book. So much more useful than those "doctor" books. Clearly, these nurses know more about basic care than most physicians -- that's what makes this book so useful and valuable. I think every household should own a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ask A Nurse, March 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ask a Nurse: From Home Remedies to Hospital Care (Hardcover)

It is really hard in this day and age to find a health-related book with practical information that is relibale and easy to follow. This book is a great resource for anyone who is interested in finding basic, clearly-stated information about common health problems.
