Customer Reviews

good condition

new, fasst deliver. there is nothing wrong with the book, but i feel the previous edition is better than this one.

Ordered the wrong edition, but I got what I chose

I haven't started using this book yet, as my classes haven't started, but I think it should be OK even though I ordered the wrong edition. Maybe making edition numbers more prominent in the ordering process would help! Delivery was very fast.

Good customer service

Thanks for the customer service. The book is in good condition. It came on time and was a big help.

A must for all nursing students.

This book is an excelent introductoin to the nursing process. She explains the how and why in a clear and concise manner. She shows how the nursing process can be applies to a variety of settings and situations, and also how to adapt it to the spacific needs of the patient.

Finally, a book that pays attention to clinical realities!

Too many students are being taught approaches that are no longer relevant to practice. Alfaro-LeFevre knows how to grab your attention and let you know what you must know to succeed both in classroom and clinical settings. She discusses "old" versus "new" thinkng and gives sound strategies and rational for moving forward into this decade. As with her other book, Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment --- an AJN Book of the Year Award winner --- she makes difficult content easy (even fun) to learn. Her emphasis on ANA standards as they apply to using nursing process as a tool for critical thinking ensures a sound, logical, relevant approach.
