This book is used as a textbook for the online program Forensic Science for Nurses at the University of Florida. I am the course instructor. I recommend this book to any nurse considering incorporating forensic nursing science into her practice.
This is a great beginning read for those looking into Forensic Nursing as a career. It is actually helping me in my DNP program right now, and isn't a required or recommended text book. (but It really should be). It is also helping me with my Clinical inquiry project. Virginia Lynch is my theorists, and it breaks down the framework she created for Forensics nurses to use in any situation.
I was really happy to see this text available for Kindle. I can have it available at any time but don't have to lug around a lot of books. This book is a must-have for forensic nurses. There is lots of info that is the foundation of the profession.
As a expert victim of hate crime related to terrorism, who is also a Registered Nurse, it's nice to finally see a publication that properly addresses victim issues.Victim services are most commonly provided by local or federal government departments, however these services are severely lacking when it comes to conducting a comprehensive assessment and plan for those affected, especially in complex cases in which there is more than one criminal and/or more than one victim, and in simultaneous occurring crime issues. Trust me, the authors of this book are much smarter than any victim service coordinator who works for the government. This book addresses both the criminals and the victims and their interrelated components. Therefore, the reader is able to develop a sense for what kinds of services a victim might need now or in the future; very much like addressing actual and potential medical problems for patients, (basic nursing practice).A excellent read for anyone who is looking to learn more about the subject of crime from a comprehensive holistic approach, or considering expanding their professional nursing practice to help crime victims.Susan Knisely B.S.N., R.N.Critical Care & Emergency Room NurseExpert Victim of Terrorism/Hate Crimes[...]
My title says it all. I will not purchase Kindle textbooks in the future. I really need to be able to SEE the photos with the captions, for example.
Great book and a great value.
Book has a flimsy spine, not enough support in the bind for such a heavy book. Always nervous book will fall apart soon. Otherwise, book is what I expected and an asset to my learning experience.
Very informative and up to date on Forensic nursing. Lynch I feel is the father of forensic nursing. Lots of good information and pictures, great resource book. A must have in nursing.
