3.0 out of 5 stars Average nursing textbook, Mar 24 2008

By K. J. Stephenson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Foundations of Nursing in the Community: Community-Oriented Practice (Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Passes opinion as fact, Feb 8 2012

By TXguy076 - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Foundations of Nursing in the Community: Community-Oriented Practice, 3e (Paperback)

This book was required for a class I took. I found the book long-winded. What was said in 20 pages could have been said in 5.

Also, the authors state their own personal opinion as fact in multiple places. This was distracting.

If you are required to buy the book, then you probably aren't reading reviews because a bad review won't change whether or not you buy the book. If you are considering this book simply as a reference quick to community nursing, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Community nursing text, Feb 10 2010

This review is from: Foundations of Nursing in the Community: Community-Oriented Practice, 3e (Paperback)

This book is a GREAT public health nursing resource, it lays down a strong foundation for community nursing. I get the most use out of the clinical application sections, they provide modern situations and are informative. You can access the supplemental student resources online through Evolve. Just follow the textbook's instructions. The resources are helpful for added understanding. I purchased it through Amazon as I do most of my textbooks. The delivery was right on schedule as usual.
