This book is horrible. I wasted money buying this book for my Community Nursing class. I can count how many times I opened this joke of a book. Whatever you do, don’t waste your money. Look for like a prentice hall review book or something to that nature. Waste of time reading.

I don’t think that Community Health Nursing is ever an easy class. You’re looking at different populations, different groups, and trying to figure out what the difference is between this and public health. Keep that in mind.
The textbook is sort of a wash. On one hand, it clearly defines ideas and principles that make up community (and public) health nursing, and provides many clear examples of the those concepts.
On the other hand, it’s *really* wordy. Pages upon pages of nothing but long, flowing writing when the point could have been gotten to in a considerably more easy way. The book also makes community health nursing look like the wave of the future, which I’m not 100% sure is entirely accurate.
You probably don’t have a choice in buying this. Just remember it’s neither as bad or as good as the other reviews would have you believe.

Although it was required of my community nursing course for me to purchase this textbook, I am deeply disappointed in it. This book is difficult to read, understand, and lug around. It seems the authors went out of their way to make this book as complicated as possible for the nursing student. It is not organized well, and it seems some information just keeps repeating and repeating.
