This book has given me a very good idea of policy and politics and how to go about reforming and changing policy. As a graduate nursing student with a very proactive mindset this has been very helpful in my education and will continue to be a great reference in my parctice.
Rating:  - Policy and Politics a must read for nurses!
Nurses, you must read this! Shocking and interesting. Healthcare must be reformed, but how? You decide.
Rating: - Informative Text
Although I bought this as a required course textbook, I found it full of useful information for any professional nurse. I highly recommend it to all nurses to become more aware of how policy and politics affect our careers and practice.
Rating: - Basic review of healthcare politics
This book is an excellent resource for nurses regarding healthcare policy and politics. It starts with very basic history and government reviews. It very much advocates for nurses to be active participants in healthcare policy making since we have much at stake with the outcomes.
Rating: - Good for class.
Not a book for just a fun casual read but it works very well getting the points of class across.
