Not user friendly, however I saw the rating before I purchased so I had an preview. I have to agree still that the book is not user frienly.


1 out of 5 stars terrible text   October 12, 2007

This text is horrible. Its disorganized. Has many run-on sentences and you'd have to reread the whole sentence to figure out what you were trying to comprehend in the first place. Not at all concise. The examples or horrible to follow. One has to flip back and forth through pages to figure out what exactly its talking about because the paragraphs changes topics in mid sentence...literally!! It begins on one topic and jumps to an entirely new subject and then ends with..."we'll discuss this topic later in chapter so and so. It uses languages that are not every day words and leaves you confused and unable to understand. Very difficult to understand. I am now looking for a better nursing research text that is actually stimulating and can teach.


2 out of 5 stars Was ok   August 17, 2007
I bought this book to help me with my class. There were some helpful items in there. But most things were in the form of crossword puzzles - who feels like doing that! So I ended not really this book much before my final. I don't think it help me to better comprehend the material

I truly think that this book was my cure for the occasional insomnia that comes with nursing school. I found it dull and not too spectacular. THe examples are boring and the terminology went over my head a couple of times. Otherwise it was fine for a book on research basics, but I;m sure there must be something else more exciting out there... Of course, we are talking about research here... :) (just kidding)
