Theoretical Basis for Nursing, 2nd Edition

by Melanie McEwen (Editor), Evelyn M. Wills (Editor)

This text is the most contemporary and comprehensive Nursing Theory textbook on the market today. Written in an easily understood style, it reflects current content course needs by addressing the underlying information needed to understand and apply theory to practice. One of the most popular aspects of this text is how it presents shared theories from other disciplines—such as the sociological, behavioral, and biomedical sciences—and relates them to nursing practice, research, education, and administration.

Awful organization. Lacks depth. Good exemplars, but not comprehensively supported. Often introduces theories inconsistently, with bias, and sometimes with little to no consistent depth or utilitarian comprehensiveness.

All I can say is nursing theory is hard.

This is a really great textbook and I will refer back to it over and over again as I am studying for my PhD. This is a great resources and valuable reference :)
