My reasons are two fold: not only does this book help nurses provide cutting-edge, patient-centred care, but it also provides strategies for self-care and personal enrichment at the same time. Very few books offer such rich and meaningful rewards! June Kaminsky, RN, MSN, PhD, Editor in Chief, Canadian Journal of Nursing Informatics
