More interesting than it looks.

I'll be honest--I'm never going to read this cover-to-cover. The quality of the writing varies significantly from chapter to chapter, from "eh, so-so" to "writing with an obvious agenda."

A great handbook for the nurse who acknowledges that nursing is a profession, and not a service industry.
