Current Issues in Nursing

This book is exactly what y school book store was selling for much much more than i paid. Excellent.

required text

looks interesting and well organized. Type is easy to read and pages are white and thick enough to turn easily unlike some texts i have had.

Current Issues in Nursing

I am a grad student working on my master's in nursing. This is a required book for the curriculum but even if it wasn't, I would probably buy it for my personal use as an educator in the hospital. It serves to enrich my knowledge in many areas of nursing.
