I have never given 5 stars to a textbook, but this book was so fantastically written. Obviously it’s brimming with information but it’s the language Bastable uses and her absolutely clear way of conveying the information with giving the proper amount of detail and flawless organization. This was a fabulous book that was required reading for my MSN program, and I am so thankful they chose it. Wonderfully written!
This book was very helpful in helping me to complete my masters in nursing education and I learned a lot from it; so much that I am keeping it for future use when I am teaching.
