Reviews / Votes
'As an adult nurse practitioner, I found this book valuable in describing the development of practice in the past five years by expressly addressing overall practice rather than specific nursing care. This edition is notable for its description of current advanced practice, and is needed because of the recent developments.' Anne V. Hennessy, Doody Enterprises, Inc. 'This is an excellent book for students from the United Kingdom who are pursuing advanced degrees, as well as for students and educators from other countries who are interested in advanced practice nursing in the United Kingdom.'
