Quoted
"As a gerontological clinical educator/research nurse, I will often use this as a reference. The format and the content are good, and the explanations of how to best use the evidence simplify the process of sifting through mountains of information to figure the best practice."

-- JDonna Minner, BSN, RN (University of Missouri-Columbia)
