Recenzje

"This is a unique book, which can be used by students and novices. It can be useful for DNP students as they develop their end-of-program projects and for nurses as they begin to work on quality improvement and program evaluation projects. There is no comparable book in the field. This would be a great addition to the library of teachers and managers to share with their students and nurses." (Michalene A. King, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2017)
