Much easier to understand for a nurse new to Oncology. Easy wording and good perpetration for needs of patients. Not overwhelming like other more advanced oncology nurse books. It is a great starting place.
I bought this book to study for the OCN certification tests for oncology nurses. I felt like it went into depth on information that did not help me be a better nurse for my patients or to pass the test and not enough info on the things I needed. I don't want to give it a bad review because it is okay but Mosby's Oncology is much better.
i would like to have some questions after each chapter esp questions for ocn prep questions. very understandable, easy to study...
The book fell apart in the first week that I had it.
The leaves start falling out of the book. I've never had that problem with any book. I am very disappointed.
