MVP for Nursing Reseach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book actually combines two previously mutually exclusive concepts--nursing research and reading enjoyment. I didn't believe it could be done! After struggling through my first research class as a graduate, I was introduced to this book in a research utilization course. It is small (as far as nursing textbooks go), but contains really all the necessary information on nursing research a student needs. The author writes in a very pleasant tone, but does not waste words. One chapter in this book is worth 10 in any other res. book. I found myself going back to this book again and again.
