The class is only one credit, so I didn't expect a mountain of information in the textbook. It was an intresting read, though, giving a great overview of the world of nursing. Well worth the money.

This book is easy to read, but quite honestly I purchased this because it was required of my school. I have not found it to be that useful, or interesting to make time to read the chapters through. A bit on the boring side.
