5.0 out of 5 stars A clear theory book
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2017

The book is as described. It is required reading for my master's program but I'm actually finding the book enjoyable and educational. The style of writing is simple and clear, for the most part. It does a good job of explaining nursing theory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a Nursing Theory text
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016
Verified Purchase
Pros-A good overview of nursing theory, and theorists. Has tables to break down parts of theories. I Love the fact that is available in E-book format. It is a good reference for a nursing theory course.
Cons-Nursing Theory is an abstract subject that necessitates clear explanations. This book is does not give succinct definitions and applicable examples using every day terminology. Instead uses large words that I only have seen on GRE to explain already difficult to grasp concepts.

This is a great nursing theory literature currently being used in online Master course . As confusing as theory can get I feel this book does a great job of clearing it up but theory is theory and not every one will feel the same. You do have to possess a love of logic to appreciate this puzzle. I was pleased with the price since this online school was selling at a higher pricing and I received my books in a timely fashion and I love Amazon for that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, need work on kindle version
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book served its purpose, but having a limited amount of of being able to have it read in kindle due to the DMR really makes things difficult. There has to be a better way because half way through the course I couldn't have it read aloud to me and it slowed the precious study time down, I am taking online classes and have to multitask and being able to have kindle for Mac read chapters is essential!

I understand the concept but studying all the theory seems a little... Useless and self important? Otherwise I think it's written fine...
