Media Reviews
Review of First Edition: Linda Nazarkoa s book focuses specifically on the care of the older person in the nursing home environment (and) is designed to be used as a guide in everyday practice. Professional Nurse a Nursing in Nursing Homesa ought to be prominently displayed at the nursesa station in every nursing home...The content is written with a simplicity and sensitivity that renders it both readable and memorable Nursing Standard Review of Second Edition: For me, the most user friendly book I have read this month is Nursing in Care Homes by Linda Nazarko. This book is probably as useful to those nurses in primary care trusts, who are working increasingly with nursing home nurses, as it is for nursing home nurses themselves.
