Average nursing textbook

Customer Rating:

This textbook seems to be on par with the other texts I have had to purchase for nursing school. Nothing incredibly wonderful in terms of organization or content. Seems repetitive in places. Relatively well written in terms of syntax and vocabulary choice. I was able to read through the chapters without having to stop and disseminate what the authors were trying to say, so that was definitely positive. I do like the soft-back option - helps to cut down on the weight of the book. I read the first 11 chapters of this book then just used the rest as a reference.

Good Book, Horrible Test Bank Questions	Customer Rating:
The book itself is full of good information about community nursing. The test bank questions are horrible.
