The Textbook

Basic Nursing: Thinking, Doing, and Caring, 2nd Edition

This student-focused text teaches students to “Think Like a Nurse” from the very first day, connecting the concepts students are learning in class to the real world in which they will practice.

A consistent and concise organization along with a wealth of pedagogical features promote critical thinking and clinical decision making by emphasizing the Thinking, Doing, and Caring at the heart of professional practice they will do as nurses.

In every chapter, they’ll first explore the theoretical knowledge behind the concepts, principles, and rationales. Then, they’ll study the practical knowledge involved in the processes; and finally, learn the skills and procedures.
