Doody's 4 Star! Review "This book provides a solid basis for nursing students or practicing nurses for understanding and using research. Of particular significance is the learner-friendly format and depth of resources both in the text and online. The objectives and useful tools act as a guide for students of research and better prepare them for practice and future scholarship.
