Average Rating:

Rating: - More information in this book than in class
This book is well written, contains everything a nurse would want regarding critiqueing either a qualitative research paper or a qualitative research study. it is a plus for any professional's library.

---

Rating: - Great Layout
This provides everything a nursing student wanting to do look up research that's evidence based. It's easy to read and follow.

---

Rating: - Required - useless text book
You will need this book to complete this class but other than that you will never use it or refer to it again. Nothing in it will appear on Hesi or NCLEX. This is just a busy work book for a busy work class. Happy reading

---

Rating: - If you must study research, this is a good tool to use
Nursing research is a rather dry topic, and therefore difficult to study unless you're really interested. This book (and the accompanying CD-ROM)make understanding all the jargon and concepts more palatable and user-friendly.

---

Rating: - "Review of the Literature" chapter really weak
The book is well laid out and easy to follow but the "Review of the Literature" section was not helpful. A large part of evidence-based practice is learning how to search the research databases and analyzing the articles retreived. This is glossed over at best. The search examples within the text were way too basic (Who searches on just the word "coping" ?) This section is in desperate need of a research librarian's input.
