Advanced Practice Nursing	Customer Rating:
I am using this book for one of my Master's courses. Some of the reading is dry but it is a good reference book all in all.

An informative book for those pursuing an Advanced Practice Degree in Nursing. Practical, relevant information about many different aspects. Would definitely recommend.

Who can really like a textbook?	Customer Rating:
A textbook for school, no matter what I say here... you probably still have to purchase it. No pictures in the whole book (all the pages are slap full of words), so get ready for a long semester!
