This has literally got to be one of the most pointless frustrating books i have ever picked up in my life. Reading this book about how to communicate with patients from a nurses prospective was like learning how to speak to people. Everything within this book is common sense when it comes to customer service/patient communication. I would not recommend picking up this book for fun or just to be on the safe side unless you are required too.
I thought this would be a very good book but its not. The chapters are long and boring. Its really hard to keep your attention. No self study ques. This book was required reading for nursing school so I have to make it work and keep reading.
Great, informative book for nursing school. I often find myself referencing this textbook for other classes and homework as well. It's easy to read and understand. There is a newer version available, but I used this edition and did just fine.
So far so good.Easy and interesting read.Soft cover book in excellent condition. Works for me in my online class. Hope to get an A!!
boring read. run on sentences. our program ended up going with a different book after our class due to the negative feedback. the book was confusing at times. did not learn much using this book.
