This book was required reading for graduate nursing program, but it is one that I will keep for reference. The text is also recommended by highly respected nursing certification exam review. It is an easy read, inspiring and practical.
I had to have this for a graduate textbook for a class at UTA. The book is pretty easy to read for a textbook. I think that it will help me in my career. I am about to graduate and many prospective employers are interested in hiring me as a nurse educator, so I plan to keep this book as a resource and use it after graduation.
Billings and Halstead being well known scholars of the nursing world have put together a very thoughtful and interesting book. Though it's for a class, has many great insights for every day life in the nursing world. Recommend.
I am in a Masters in Nursing Education program now and we use this book in my course of studies. I will keep it for my own personal reference book once I begin teaching. It is really helpful and easy to use. I like the book and will add it to my library.
This is a great book that was required for my graduate program. The Kindle version is not a good version because the page has to be zoomed into in order to be read. You would be better served getting it on VitalSource bookshelf. The book is great and has excellent information!
Really great book (as far as textbooks go) with regard mostly to nursing academia but also applicable to clinical education. Good resource for curriculum development and up to date with alternative teaching and learning strategies.
As a MSN Nurse Educator student I found this book to be invaluable, it's like the bible for novice educators. This book has so much useful information!! I have used it in multiple classes and can't say enough good things about it.
I used this for my masters of nursing education program and rented it- bad choice. I used it for the next 4 semesters. Great book for nursing educators!! Wish I would have bought it to begin with. Spent way more money renting and extending the rental.
