Reader Reviews
I purchased this text to help review for the FNP examination. It is an excellent resource--one that I frequently pull off the shelf to review. I would strongly recommend it for your medical library. The only criticism I have is that the layoutof topics and headings is a bit awkward, but the index does allow for quick access to topics. Interesting read, and great resource.
