Chock full of information

I picked up this book while working on my Master's degree. I have never worked in home health care and found this book full of so much information it has made me want to rethink my career as a nurse. The author discusses everything! Political, social, financial, religious, and cultural issues regarding care in the home. There are resources listed for just about anything. The common perception of a home care nurse will really change after you read this.
