Psychiatric nursing

I like the book so far. It seems easy to read. I like the charts and boxes. Its flexible enough to carry around anywhere you go. Its a required reading I need for nursing school.

Bought it for a friend

A friend who was pursuing her degree in nursing asked me if I could get her this book. I did.She used it.She graduated with top honors in her class. So I guess it was perfect for her,and will be good for other aspiring nurses.

Truly Interesting!

I'm in my final semester in the Registered Nursing program. Just finished with my Psychiatric Nursing rotation. We used this Keltner text as our mainstay throughout the course. The instructors got together about a semester ago and decided it was time to change textbooks. The instructors decided on this text and I'm forever grateful! I found myself not only using this text to study from, but I found myself actually reading it for fun!?!?!? - and now during summer break, I find myself reading from it. I've now decided on a career in Psychiatric Nursing, based in small part on this text and my experiences during clinical rotation. Thanks Norm for a great book!
