Caring for the vulnerable

Book covers scruffy/scratched slightly. Inside the books were excellent!! I bought 3 one for me and two for classmates. We were all satisfied.

Great test book for Nursing 440

This book was required for a class I am taking for my Masters. It is a great choice and interesting. Not boring like most college text books. I could of used ebooks from the college library but I like hands on and I am not going to copy all those pages.

It's about time!

A book like this should have come out long ago! When I was taking my "Vulnerable Populations" course in my BSN program we did not even have a textbook. Now nursing students can benefit from the experiences and research in this book.
