Policy & Politics in Nursing and Health Care, 6th Edition

Used as school book in masters program. User friendly and a good book to understand the political process.

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.

Nurses, you must read this! Shocking and interesting. Healthcare must be reformed, but how? You decide.

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.

I like this book. It is very informative, comprehensive and well-researched. The manner of presentation is well-organized, the language is easy to understand. The information, relevant to the current issues of this decade and past history. This is a very good reference for those who are taking health care infrastructure, especially nurses; or for those who want to learn the history, evolution and course of health care in U.S.
