Every single student in my class of 31 (an accelerated BSN program) has said that they cannot even begin to get through a chapter in this book. It provides sooooo much information but is horrible at making the important points stand out. I would read a chapter and then have no idea what I just read or what I should have taken away from it. Sometimes I would find myself reading a sentence over, and over, and over trying to figure out what the heck they were getting at. Very poorly worded. Simply THE worst text I have ever had to use.By Jessica Florentino
The author may be a nursing scholar but she is a horrible writer. Not only does this verbose tome drone on in a boring fashion without ever accentuating the most important points - you know the ones they will present test questions on, but the author has the audacity to inject her personal political agendas into the topics. I'll let you figure out what her political utopia is...hopefully you wont finish the class persuaded to her dumbed down solutions for the world.By r3VOLution
On the other hand, the disconnect in this book between the content and what one is expected to know for the test is not unique in nursing school to this book alone. I don't know but sometimes I wonder if psychopaths that hate nursing students have caputured academia, state nursing boards, and the text book industry. The texts they write just do not address well the knowledge they expect one to gain from the reading and most teachers don't help students make that leap. I'm a great student and get high scores but I consider the texts, especially this one, and impediment to my success.
By the way, don't waste your money on this edition. Buy the last edition for $5 as they are practically indistinguishable.
