It covers the history of advanced practice nursing, the theory behind the practice, and emerging issues. Offering a comprehensive exploration of advanced practice nursing, this edition also adds a focus on topics including the APN scope of practice, certification, and the ethical and legal issues that occur in clinical practice.
Currently reading for NURS 659, Organizational and Professional Dimensions of Nursing Practice, Spring 2013. This book is terrible, even as far as textbooks go.
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.
