Covering all advanced practice competencies and roles, this book offers strategies for enhancing patient care and legitimizing your role within todays health care system. It covers the history of advanced practice nursing, the theory behind the practice, and emerging issues. Offering a comprehensive exploration of advanced practice nursing, this edition also adds a focus on topics including the APN scope of practice, certification, and the ethical and legal issues that occur in clinical practice.

 Advanced Practice Nursing-Hamric,et al February 5, 2008
An informative book for those pursuing an Advanced Practice Degree in Nursing. Practical, relevant information about many different aspects. Would definitely recommend.

A textbook for school, no matter what I say here... you probably still have to purchase it. No pictures in the whole book (all the pages are slap full of words), so get ready for a long semester!
great comprehensive text for APNs October 15, 2007
No matter what type of APN you are, this is a good textbook to review the role of the APN as well as the history of our professions. Easy to read and understand, covers the topics completely.
If you are an Advanced Practice Nurse or student - this is THE book June 26, 2007
What is a CNS? Well, the other advanced practice nurses are fairly easy to understand - but this book says it all. It has been the most used book (okay, well, besides my Rosen's for emergency care) I own. Dr. Hamric is very well respected and known and the respective authors in the book are nationally known and respected. This is THE book and highly recommended for anyone wanting to know about advanced practice nursing, where we came from, the theory behind what we do and why, issues that are facing us and outcomes and more and more. I've used it for EVERY core content class and see myself using it even when I'm practicing. I'm glad that our CNS professor had us purchase this book over any other role book. It really is an excellent resource.
 Okay but drags on October 12, 2006

We are using this book in my grad class. Helpful in understanding the CNS versus NP roles but later on it gets redundant and not very interesting. I know that lots of the information in it will show up on boards so I am keeping it. Just remember to keep a cup of coffee near when you are reading.
