Customer Reviews

excellent delivery

This book is very helpfull for nursing instructors. I received my book in 3days and that was excellent service.

Great, but too expensive!

This small book offers some great ideas, but it is very expensive. Something like this should not cost more than $25, so I was shocked to see how short it was. Yes, it does contain some helpful hints, but still... I would encourage people to look elsewhere.
