Not enough examples to clarify the concepts (examples given are not creative enough to enhance understanding if its a concept that reader is completely unfamiliar with), uses the vocab word in the definition (for example, it's like saying: definition means to define a concept)
The prevailing writing style in this book was way too wordy. I felt like the information that was imparted could have been adequately covered in a pamphlet of 40 pages. It was a painful read.
Worst written textbook EVER! I agree with the other reviewer about the book being too wordy. My classmates and I are convinced the authors had a minimum number of words required by the editors. I found myself googling to get clarification on the concepts because the text book is so convoluted in its descriptions. I'm sure there isn't a big market for nursing research textbooks, which is why we get stuck using this one. Don't waste your money renting/buying this. Using the internet will serve you MUCH better.
love Spigen products. I purchased the Spigen case and absolutely love it. It's durable and already protected my phone against several falls. So naturally, when it was time to order a screen protector, I chose the Spigen screen protector.I live in a household where we ALL have multiple iPhones. Even my toddler has an older iPhone he uses to go on apps or play games on. Every now and again, my little guy gets annoyed with his "old" iPhone 5 and wants to upgrade and use my brand now iPhone 6S lol. In addition to my toddler playing rough with my phones, I am not the most delicate when it comes to phones. Needless to say, screen protectors in this house are a MUST!I've purchased cheap screen protectors in the past and found I had to replace them every few months.Unlike some of the cheaper protectors, the Spigen screen protector for iPhone 6s is made from tempered glass, not plastic. It is harder and less easy to scratch. It also protects your screen better because it provides a thicker layer of protection. It was also very easy to install. It pretty much came with everything needed to apply the screen protector. It also came with a very detailed instruction guide on how to properly install the screen protector.I cleaned the screen with an alcohol wipe. I then used the dry cloth in the kit to completely dry my screen before applying the screen protector. The guide stickers are also included to pretty much keep the the installation dummy-proof. This helps against those nasty bubbles that form when the screen is improperly installed. Once my screen was clean, I used the stickers to guide and drop the protector onto the screen. It adhered perfectly and smoothly, with no bubbles. The size is smaller than the front glass of the iPhone, however I found this helps it to stay on screen properly with my case on it.The screen protector is very clear, you won't realize its exists. It provides good protection for smudges. The nice thing is that it doesn't interfere with any function of the Touch 3D.My two year son immediately grabbed the phone from me and put his little sticky fingers all over it. To my surprise, there were no fingerprint marks left on the screen. Pretty impressive.I cannot comment on the durability of the screen protector since I just applied it. However, if I am not satisfied, I will update my review.Overall I highly recommend this screen protector. I love that it comes with everything you need to install.Although I received this screen protector free or at a discounted rate to provide an unbiased honest review, this doesn't affect my five star rating for it. I rely heavily on reviews before buying products so I personally like to be honest when reviewing items myself! If at any time I find the product does not live up to the initial review, I will update my review to reflect my findings.I found this screen protector to be of excellent quality and would recommend it to family and friends.Hope you found my review to be helpful. If so,[...];)
Would not recommend the kindle version. It's hard to read and hard to find the information you need. When searching for a word/phrase it would only find the first 100. It really needed an option to search chapter specific
The most soul-sucking textbook I have read yet, which is saying a lot. I think my hatred for this book might have more to do with the teacher I got stuck with than the textbook, so I'll give it five stars.
This is the second textbook I have by these authors and find them very well written and easy to read and follow. This was not on my required reading list for my Evidence Based Practice course but after owning the prior text I felt this would be of benefit - and so far it has been.
Terrible and boring book to read... Thank God the class is over!!
