Great book to lay the foundations of nursing theory

As a DNP student, this book was wonderful in helping clarify the concepts and perspectives on Nursing Theory. Theory is a very abstract concept that requires a higher level of thinking that is not easily developed. This book does a wonderful job at laying the foundation and preparing an individual to develop an increased cognitive process related to nursing theory.

Any new nurse or nurse student needs to read this book.  It gives you great insight as to being a new nurse.  Our 4th teacher recommended this book to us as we were finishing our 3rd level to get us thinking about the difference between nursing school and the real world nursing and how frightening it can be as a new nurse, after you graduated.  I am in 4th level now and I can't tell you how many times she wants us to refer back to this book to learn how to approach different things that come up in the clinical setting.  I have truly enjoyed each chapter.  The first 1 or 2 chapters might start off a little slow but my advice to you is to keep reading because it is great.

This is THE BEST nursing book I've ever read.  Had to read it for a required nursing class and I will read it again.  Any nurse who cares about the nursing profession needs to read this book.  I have passed it around work and everyone loves it.  It holds your interest, and really represents the nursing profession.  If only patients and the public could read this book...

I have been teaching psychopharmacology for a long time and this is my favorite text to recommend to both baccalaureate nursing students and advanced practice nurse practitioners. Dr. Lichtblau has an easy reading style and provides clear and interesting explanations of complex concepts. My students are willing to read this material because the author engages the reader. He does not dummy down the information but makes it available in small portions to prevent indigestion! I highly recommend this book.

I am currently in nursing school and I use this book to help study for tests or reinforce what I have learned in class rather than to study for the NCLEX and I love this book.  It has a wide variety of topics and for each question it explains why a certain answer is correct and why the other choices are not correct.  The rationales really help you understand concepts that you may not have mastered.  Excellent book and I would recommend to any nursing student!

Definitely recommend this book. My teacher uses it almost daily for class lectures. As a student nurse who is looking to become a critical care nurse, this book is also something I have seen several nurses in a critical care unit reference. The book came in a very timely manner and was exactly what I was expecting.

I am currently studying Nursing Informatics in a Master's Certification Course. I loved this book! It was user friendly and covered a variety of  topics. It was very easy to read and understand. Since this is a new  specialty in Nursing, most of us are starting at ground zero. This is a  great place to start!

Wonderful book that created most of my first semester nursing care plans. Definitely recommend it. This helps to understand almost any and all nursing diagnoses with interventions and rationales. Awesome book and will help tremendously.

Awesome book for new graduate nurses, student nurses, and even experienced nurses looking to chuckle and feel understood. What I love is how Kati shares in an honest way that it's really OK to be yourself as a nurse. The stories give great examples of what it's REALLY like to be a nurse, while also providing insight and valuable lessons. I enjoyed the balance of art and science and the practicality of the entire thing. Great work and this book should be given to nursing students across the country!  -Elizabeth Scala, MSN/MBA, RN, author of bestselling book 'Nursing from Within'

I am a nursing student and found this book very helpful. It's easy to understand, has a ton of information. Much easier to use than the one our school recommended.

At first I thought I had the necessary skills in critical thinking, yet the fact is that such a skill for Nursing is complex and would benefit students should there is a guide that breakdown all of its components for proper assimilation.  Through this well written book which detailed the steps and all their logical sequences, it had deepen my critical thinking ability for professional Nursing beyond what was offered by the Nursing Fundamental text book.  It covers the basic five steps of Nursing Process and its application from care plan creation to delegation.  Full of insights for both inside and outside the clinical setting.  And as a first-time Nursing student like myself, I would highly recommend this book.

Best wishes in all your Nursing career pursues!
