[Kathleen Lara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is an incredible resource for any nurse educator. It is well organized and filled with fantastic information. However, I did not give it 5 stars because there are several instances in the book where the author needs to clarify. There are areas where the author overly complicated the information. Clear, precise definitions are needed throughout the book. Still a great resource, just needs some clarification and fine tuning.
