Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Nurse as Educator
Susan Bacorn Bastable · 2014
80/100
👍 Worth It
Bastable's textbook has earned its place as the market-leading nursing education resource by doing the fundamentals extremely well: solid theoretical grounding in teaching and learning, practical frameworks nurses can use the next day, and consistent updating across editions. The dense academic writing can challenge beginning students, but for RN and BSN programs this is a reliable and well-earned standard text.
