Good Text book-Well written

If you have to read a textbook, this is a good one. It is easy to read, understand and filled with examples that make a standard textbook seem boring. I had two other books required for this class, this one is much better and far more beneficial.

Awesome

I have to say that I was very pleased to receive my book and in the condition in which it was described at a fantastic price. I will and do plan on using this source to purchase future materials. Thank you so much. Tommie

Nurse as Educator: Fabulous book!

I got this book as part of my MSN program. I still refer to it frequently because it is a fantastic reference. It's easy to navigate, and it's easy to read. The advice in the book always seems so timely as well. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in teaching other nurses or in other similiar settings. I would also highly recommend it for the new Clinical Nurse Educator or Staff Development Specialist for its comprehensive discussion of the topics. It can certainly provide the basic knowledge one needs to know in order to do this job.
