Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-20 00:00:00 Linda Rudy This is really a 1.5 star book. It is an interesting subject but the book has no meat to it. I like my books to have a definite beginning, middle and satisfying conclusion. This book is very disturbing to read because it starts off defining and defending the role of the forensic nurse, detailing how she has to fight for acceptance in the various health and legal disciplines she works in and illustrates this with short anecdotes (the only interesting bits) but it never gets beyond this defining and defending. You could easily swap the middle and end chapters and not realise it; there is no progression to the book at all. The slight, journalistic style of writing is ideally suited to a career manual but doesn't have the depth that would make a book interesting. Really, it would be better condensed and reissued as a series of pamphlets for would-be nurses looking at the various career specialities open to them. Recommended to people interested in a nursing career who have a strong interest in the legal - or criminal - side of how someone ended up in medical care. It's a well-paid career and sounds to be a very interesting one indeed. Read in 2008, found, skimmed through and reviewed in 2012

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-03 00:00:00 Jay Posada I am quite interested in this subject, but this book is practically unreadable. It is bad enough that a RN would write so incoherently, but the editor should be looking for another profession. This book jumps from one unrelated anecdote to fact to observation, sometimes within the same paragraph. Horrendous.
