Nursing Textbooks

What to expect in a nursing school?

I would like to ask this question to current nurses or nursing students.
I’m just getting ready for nursing school next fall (at UMB, MD). I received couple of the textbooks and they are about 4 in. thick, not to mention they are expensive! I’m starting to freak out a little. So I wanted to ask what is it really like in a nursing school. I did quite well in prerequisite courses, so compared to them, how do nursing courses differ?

As a profession, few careers can come close to be as rewarding both personally and professionally as nursing. Today, nursing is one of the country’s largest health care professions with a growing need for more nurses in the future. Due to current shortage of qualified nurses, graduates with a nursing degree are almost always assured of a secure career and future.

You say you have scored well in all the prerequisite courses for a nursing degree, which is great. Most nursing programs require a high school diploma and exemplary scores in high school English, the sciences – chemistry, biology, and physics along with algebra and psychology. Nursing demands leadership and organizational skills, people skills, flexibility, patience, compassion, a calm personality and problem-solving skills. If you feel you have all of the above and have the drive to succeed in this career, I don’t think a few thick text books and horror stories should put you off. Yes, there will be a lot of work but take it from me who recently graduated with a RN degree from Stevens-Henager College http://www.stevenshenager.edu , it will be well worth the effort in the end. All the best.

Beyond Textbooks $32 Technology is a key driver of educational innovation, and a variety of programmes focusing on investment in infrastructure, equipment, in-service training and digital learning resources have been established to promote its usage in primary and secondary schools. So far, little comparative analytical attention has been devoted to understanding how digital resources improve the quality of learning and to assessing the public policies that support their development and use, and the role played by other stakeholders like publishers, broadcasting companies and increasingly user communities. This publication aims to fill that gap by both reviewing and evaluating the process of systemic innovation. Drawing on case studies from five Nordic countries, the report assembles information on the knowledge bases and policy actors which impact each phase of this innovation process and the main factors which influence its success including governance, financing and user involvement.

Nursing Knowledge $55.99 Nurses who conduct research have a longstanding interest in questions of nursing knowledge. Nursing Knowledge is a clear and well-informed exposition of the philosophical background to nursing theory and research.   Nursing Knowledge answers such fundamental questions as: How is nursing theory related to nursing practice?  What are the core elements of nursing knowledge? What makes nursing research distinctive as nursing research?  It examines the history of the philosophical debates within nursing, critiques the arguments, explains the implications and sets out to rethink the philosophical foundation of nursing science. Nursing Knowledge begins with philosophical problems that arise within nursing science.  It then considers various solutions with the help of philosophical ideas arguingargues that nurses ought to adopt certain philosophical positions because they are the best solutions to the problems that nurses encounter. The book argues claims that the nursing standpoint has the potential to disclose a more complete understanding of human health than the common disease-and-dysfunction views. Because of the relationship to practice, nursing science may freely draw theory from other disciplines and nursing practice unifies nursing research. By redefining theory and philosophy,With a new philosophical perspective on nursing science, the so-called relevance gap between nursing theory and practice can be closed. The final chapter of the book ‘redraws the map’, to create a new picture of nursing science based on the following principles: Problems of practice should guide nursing research; Practice and theory are dynamically related; Theory research must provide the knowledge base necessary for nurse interventions, training, patient education, etc.; Nursing research should develop midrange theories and its results are nursing theory is strengthened when it uses theories confirmed by is integrated with other disciplines.
