 Help Wanted: EditorSep 09, 2004
By J. Bergh
I enthusiastically obtained this book, and truly, there is some good information in it. I think. The problem is that the typos absorbed my concentration and it took all my energy not to reach for the red pen. This book reads as though it went from concept to press in two weeks.
I couldn't trust the accuracy of this book because if it wasn't edited, is it likely to have been fact checked? Some of the errors are silly, some are grievous. The point is, I read 2 chapters before flinging it aside, and I only read the second chapter out of fascination for the train wreck of typos: at least one per page, no less.
I gave it two stars since as I noted above, I think there might be some good info in it, but I'd double check before I acted on any of it.

 What the heck?Apr 04, 2006

Ok first off the author isnt even a nurse. She has her masters in reading... her bachelors is in elementary education or something. Makes you wonder how she got information on becoming a nurse. I'd say there are plenty of other books out there that were written by actual nurses that would be alot more helpful than this book. I didnt really notice too many grammatical errors but that is because I cant get past the fact that my girlfriend spent $17 on a useless book...

Very badly written and editedDec 18, 2005
By Cheryl
I've read about half of this book and have reached the point where I simply cannot read it further. The writing is terrible, with typos and grammatical errors in every paragraph, and repetitive redundancies galore. It's embarrassing! This from an author with a Bachelors degree in Education and a Masters in Reading? If she cannot write a simple sentence, can I trust the content about which she is trying to write?

i got this book. it did introduce aspects of nursing that i had not really considered. the biggest downside to this book is the spelling and grammatical errors. i don't so much blame the author, as much as i blame the editor. how did these huge errors get past an editor??
poor writing!Oct 22, 2006
By christine
By the time I reached Chapter 3, I had encountered at least four typos. It makes me question the authenticity of this author's research. If THIS many grammatical errors were allowed to make print, I can only imagine how little time and effort the author/editor put into the creation of this book. And to continue with what someone else said, this author is not even a nurse.
If you are going to spend money on a book about nursing, do not buy this book. Find an author who has more hands-on experience in the field. I found most of the information in this book to be vague, or easily obtainable with a little internet research. Very disappointing.
