 A great book for any concerned nurse. June 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book for any nurse who wants to learn how health policy is written and what to do to make a difference in your practice. The authors are well educated and have incredible resources. Nurse polititians contribute a great deal to the book. For nurses who choose to get more politically involved than just in the workplace, this book gives the requirements for getting your feet wet in the political arena.
This book should definitely be required for any masters or doctorate nursing program.

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.

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.
Basic review of healthcare politics October 17, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
