Review :
Poor layout

I only purchased this book as a requirement for a public health class. I find the reading to be very tedious, boring,and poorly layed out. While the material is not at all difficult, the formatting makes it impossible to pay attention.

It is one of the worst set ups for a book I have seen

This information is not hard, however, it could be said in a more interesting way. I think it is so dry that it makes it hard to read. I find myself reading then asking myself, what have I just read. It is one of the worst set ups for a book I have seen. The information provided could have been said in less words...This book really only needed to be about 200 pages... Not a 1000k

Great Resource for Community Health Nursing course.

I took Community Health Nursing at GCU. This book was a much needed resource to get through this course! Recommended!
