Customer Reviews
Forensic Nursing
This book is a complete overview of many new fields available to the Forensic Nurse. The text is comprehensive and the photography plates are also a valuable tool. For the student an excellent textbook, for the Forensic nurse an excellent resource guide to his/her field.
A knowlegable compilation
They call Virginia Lynch the godmother of forensic nursing. Her text is packed with information about the many specialties available to the forensic nurse. Ms. Lynch had multiple authors contribute their "best" to this book. Linda Ledray writes about sexual assault, the others write about their own special practice and specialized knowledge in the field.
I have to be honest, a few chapters read like "stereo instructions" while others were easier to read and held my interest. I strongly suggest this book for any student or someone who is simply interested in "CSI" type of information. If it is involved with forensics...it's in here.
I have already used it multiple times for research and in my own practice.
Forensic nursing
I have studied forensic nursing through Kaplan University for the last 9 months. I found this textbook to be a wonderful and thorough resource. Covers all the necessary material.
