5Great resource!  Sep 15, 2009
This book was required for a graduate-level statistics course. It is readable and helpful. I highly recommend it.

3Like pulling teeth  Jul 03, 2009
This textbook provides everything an aspiring nurse researcher could want to know. But I find the writing style very academic, wordy, and hard to get through. I'm a straight-A BSN student, and I have to read most sentences more than once to understand what they're saying. Research is not my style, but this book is probably helpful if you enjoy it. A statistics background would be very helpful. Most students will be required to get this book for a class, so this review is moot, but not probably a great pick for pleasure reading.

5Great book!  Feb 19, 2009
I got this book for a graduate research class and it's great! It has an easy to understand language and the summary of important terms at the end of each chapter makes it easy to review. It is also a not-so-big book.

5Excellent  Sep 10, 2008
Just what I needed for my master's course, and it was less expensive than the university bookstore!

3Ouch  Jul 08, 2008
If I didn't need it for a class...I would never have bought this.

It hurts my soft-science brain to read.
