Public Health Nursing Book

The book was received in very good shape and in a very timely fashion. Thank you

Excellent book

I needed this book for Excelsior College nursing test. This book was very informative and had an easy style to read. I just needed the book for the Epidemiology and Environmental Health chapters but I ended up using parts of the book to review for the whole Community-Focused test.

Thorough, accessible text

I read this for an undergraduate nursing class and found it to be a thorough text with accessible language, featuring authors who are seminal to the field. I would recommend it to other students and teachers.
