Reading about statistics in this manner- the language, crammed text, etc. is a surefire narcotic, if that's what you want. It's heavy on quantitative research and methods- and tries a little too hard to pack it all in. You might use it as a reference but realize that you will probably get a headache from reading more that 5 pages in a sitting.

This text is required for my doctoral level quantitative research course.
I have been busy actively learning (actual data analysis & critique). For the first time I feel that research can become a reality. It's too bad this text did not cross my path 10 years ago as the beginning point for previous research courses. The text is not a difficult read. The excerpts from actual research and visuals keep the readers attention. I have not utilized the Evolve web site. At least 4 research texts are on my bookshelf, but this text pulls it all together. If I desire to dig deeper the references are there.

In my grad level Nursing Research class, this book was helpful. However, I am doing qualitative research for my master's project and this book was quite lacking in this area. I would suggest if you're doing qualitative, find a different book.

Burns and Grove's book is an excellent resource for "general" referencing of all that is involved in nursing research.

This book was new and sealed. It arrived in a timely matter. No complaints
