Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 610.73 EAN: 9780781762830 Edition: Second Edition ISBN: 0781762839 Label: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Manufacturer: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 576 Publication Date: January 01, 2006 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Studio: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Editorial Review: Product Description: This text is the most contemporary and comprehensive Nursing Theory textbook on the market today. Written in an easily understood style, it reflects current content course needs by addressing the underlying information needed to understand and apply theory to practice. One of the most popular aspects of this text is how it presents shared theories from other disciplines--such as the sociological, behavioral, and biomedical sciences--and relates them to nursing practice, research, education, and administration. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best Review outside of KaplanIf you are not into the Kaplan format or don't have time this is the book for you. The chapter are short and to the point. You can maximize your Board score by looking at the chapters in Biostats (guaranteed to ghave at least 2 questions per block on this subject). Look into it and if you need a bit more details I suggest either the Goljan High Yield Notes or Kaplan Behavioral Sciences. Rating: - Great Book!Covers everything you need to know in under 100 pages. Really easy read. Can be read in a day or two and will increase your behavioral science scores on the USMLE significantly! Rating: - Book description incorrectThe book description and some of the reviews do not refer to this text. The book primarily reviews development of theory and then presents an overview of various nursing grand and middle range theories, followed by theories from biological, behavioral, education, management, and sociology that are useful and applicable to nursing. Rating:  - Index is poor, poor, poor.Nice text; well-written, but the ridiculous index makes this somewhat of a joke. Whoever wrote the index (looks author-generated?) doesn't know the purpose/function of an index. Rating:  - Theoretical Basis for NursingThe book was too "wordy". It used a lot of words to say the same thing over and over, to perhaps fill pages for a publisher. |
