Please tell me more about this book, the authors, date of publication (ISBN #), and where I may obtain it. This may be an excellent resource for my ADN students. Thanks.

It also gives the ISBN # on this page. Thank you for discussing this book!

Buy one..and for gosh sakes..past it around! Maybe a "lending library"....have them sign it out..and back in..so you can remember who you "loaned" it too...

They should make it manditory reading

wisdom writes: "They should make it manditory [sic] reading"

BEFORE applying to any nursing school.

or making a lifelong career choice! So much hard work making it thru school...spending all that money, time and effort...

Definetly "A READ" BEFORE applying...

I enjoyed the part...where they say the hospitals COUNT on nurses feeling "concerned" about patient care...when truly the hospitals only concern is "APPEARING to be concerned about patient safety and care"...when it really cares about INCOME ONLY
