Essential information for NP practice that is not easily found elsewhere. Recommended for all NPs.
However, the text was mostly focused on primary care APNs and very little was mentioned on the specialties. As a PMHNP, I would have liked her to write a bit about specific issues surrounding each specialty.

I didn't expect to enjoy this book, but it answered so many questions I had. I really liked it in spite of myself.

Plenty of stuff I hadn't considered. Don't be intimidated by the size. A good portion is detailing each state's laws and regulations...little of which will apply to you.
