reliable seller

since i am in a fast track learning system and receive info on new requested book quite often with little time till the beginning of a new class: this is the seller to buy from -fast and reliable without any glitches and problems, book arrived on time in a described condition!

This book works well.

I saw several "bad" reviews about this book - how difficult it was to decipher, how wordy, etc. - I was slightly depressed that it was the text selected by my professor. . . then I used it for a speeded-up intersession course and I found those concerns to be non-existent. The book is logically set up, the index is a dream and the definitions are simply-written and amply exampled; I really actually enjoyed reading the studies used as illustrations throughout the book and collected at the end. I never saw any of the "problems" that the other reviewers saw. I found the book to be great. The authors have a new edition out and I haven't used that, but if I were going to recommend textbooks to beginners in EBP - I would certainly mention editions by these authors.

Well... I liked it

I am also in the online RN-BSN program at UNM. I took the course that used this book the summer of 2007. I really liked the book. I understood more about statistics after reading the chapter in LoBiondo-Wood & Haber than after completing a semester of regular statistics. I wish I'd read that chapter first! I feel that the book was very thorough, excellent at defining terms and really thoughtful in the way the authors work very hard to describe and differentiate the many concepts that were addressed. This is what I am getting a BSN for. As a diploma grad and CCRN for 25 years, I am pretty confidant at the bedside. But now that I've taken this nursing research class, and learned to interpret and evaluate what's in the literature, well, it has really empowered me. The only thing I would suggest to purchasers of this book it to put "LoBiondo-Wood & Haber" into your autotext ASAP, because you will really get tired of typing it out!

Research

This book was excellent for my class. I liked the appendices (nsg research articles) which helped to understand the different concepts related to nursing research.
