"Great Book" according to Claudia. Read this for a Sociology class, it's a great read. I definitely recommend it for anyone, especially Soc students and those who work in the medical field.

Erin O said Great description of the devlopment of ethics and morals of nurses. Great book describing the shaping or morals and ethics of bedside nurses as well as health care providers that mainly work in the hospital environment. After reflection upon my own experience as a nurse, I understand and appreciate the amazing amount of time and study it took to write this book. Great read!
