 Community Health and Public nursing Book November 6, 2006
James R. Osborne Jr. (Keen Mountain, VA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Very imformative book, reads easy, and makes information easy to remember.
When reading this book you know you are reading an educational book, but you feel like you are reading something for fun. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning on working with the public in the nursing field.
 only if its required... September 15, 2008
Me all day
This book was required for the community health class in my nursing school. It is not very concise, the text is written in such a way as to be very conversational. I prefer books that present the facts without extra fluff (concise). Because of the way its written, studying is made more time consuming, because I have to ferret out the relevant information. Otherwise, some of the concepts are not thoroughly explained/defined, but in general its a so-so book. The verdict: only buy it if you have to.
