Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

Excellent:

Just what I needed for my master's course, and it was less expensive than the university bookstore!

Ouch:

If I didn't need it for a class...I would never have bought this.
It hurts my soft-science brain to read.

Nursing Research:

Excellent advanced book on professional nursing research theory and methodology. Excellent graphics and charts integrated into the body of the text.

Denise, RN:

Required text for master science in nursing, professor states will use as "reference." Lots of info packed in, lots of current websites/info listed. Fairly easy to follow format.
