Currently reading for NURS 659, Organizational and Professional Dimensions of Nursing Practice, Spring 2013. This book is terrible, even as far as textbooks go.

Packed full of great information for the advanced practice nurse but very boring.

Read this book for an APN class. Found it to be very repetitious and induced me to nap often. There were a few useful charts and resource pages. I doubt I'll ever open this book again.
