Amazon Customer said Three Stars. doesnt read well. "Great Resource" according to April in Texas. I actually rented this book for a BSN course, and have to say that now I wish I would have purchased instead of renting. I plan to move forward in pursuit of a MSN degree and I feel this book would continue to be a resource. It's a good basic reference book that provides numerous research samples and critiques to aid the student in their own critique.. L. J. Morrisey said "Review of the Literature" chapter really weak. The book is well laid out and easy to follow but the "Review of the Literature" section was not helpful. A large part of evidence-based practice is learning how to search the research databases and analyzing the articles retreived. This is glossed over at best. The search examples within the text were way too basic (Who searches on just the word "coping" ?) This section is in desperate need of a research librarian's input.
