5 out of 5 stars Best Review outside of Kaplan   October 5, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this comment useful.

If you are not into the Kaplan format or don't have time this is the book for you. The chapter are short and to the point. You can maximize your Board score by looking at the chapters in Biostats (guaranteed to ghave at least 2 questions per block on this subject). Look into it and if you need a bit more details I suggest either the Goljan High Yield Notes or Kaplan Behavioral Sciences.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book!   September 16, 2008

Covers everything you need to know in under 100 pages. Really easy read. Can be read in a day or two and will increase your behavioral science scores on the USMLE significantly!


5 out of 5 stars Book description incorrect   April 20, 2006
 8 out of 17 found this comment useful.

The book description and some of the reviews do not refer to this text. The book primarily reviews development of theory and then presents an overview of various nursing grand and middle range theories, followed by theories from biological, behavioral, education, management, and sociology that are useful and applicable to nursing.


1 out of 5 stars Index is poor, poor, poor.   November 4, 2005

Nice text; well-written, but the ridiculous index makes this somewhat of a joke. Whoever wrote the index (looks author-generated?) doesn't know the purpose/function of an index.

The book was too "wordy". It used a lot of words to say the same thing over and over, to perhaps fill pages for a publisher.
