Curriculum Integration: Designing the Core of Democratic Education 1 review
James A. Beane
Teachers College Press, 1997
A key point of departure
This book serves as node in a network to other research and curriculum related research and activity. I found Beane's references to other influential works extremely helpful. In particular I enjoyed following the historical roots of curriculum integration that he delineates in this book. While it took some time to find the works of L. Thomas Hopkins, I am finding them extremely informative, ...

AWOHNN, NANN
Saunders, 2004
a must have for any neonatal nurse
The core curriculum is a must have for any neonatal nurse. It's the "bible" of neonatal nursing guidelines. An excellent reference to have each day you work. Easy to read and follow along. Good pictures.
I traveled to another country to teach nurses how to care for premature babies, and this was the first book to get packed into my suitcase!

Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing (Core Curriculum Series)6 reviews
Joanne Itano, Karen N. Taoka
Saunders, 2005
Excellent Oncology Certification study book
I used this book, and the Study Guide for The Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing textbook, as well as the OCN 3 exam booklets from ONS, and did really well on the OCN Exam that I took in Washington D.C., April 17, 2002. This book helped me so much on being able to pass that test. It is set up exactly like the OCN Test Blueprint. I would study and work my way through each chapter and then test ...

Emergency Nursing Core Curriculum (Emergency Nursing Core Curriculum (Jordan)) 12 reviews
ENA
Saunders, 2007
Core content for Emergency Nurses
I would consider this the "Bible" of Emergency Nursing. It is respectable in that it is written and published by the ENA (Emergency Nurses Association). It has DOZENS of contributing authors from many different clinical/specialty backgrounds of Emergency Nursing.
This book looks at the "core" knowledge base of Emergency Nurses and puts it in one place. While it's not a "casual" read, it is ...

Saunders, 2004
Great Resource
The new edition of the AWHONN Core Curriculum for Maternal Newborn Nursing is excellent. It allows the staff on the units to have the latest information on clinical practice, guidelines for care, and patient education. The only thing more would be to have an appendix of common OB/Newborn procedures and protocols/guidelines and much of the annual hospital activities revolving around the ...

Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing1 review
American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
Saunders, 2006
Best Book for serious Pediatric ICU Nurses
I was lucky to get this book at a used-and-reduced price; however, that doesn't change the fact that the book is outstanding in it's content. I own Hazinski's pediatric ICU "bible", but this book is SO much more detailed. If you want to learn peds cardiology...REALLY learn not only the congenital malformations but the surgery for each malformation with detailed diagrams in a step-by-step process, ...

Study Guide for the Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing4 reviews
Oncology Nursing Society, Suzanne Mahon
Saunders, 2005
Great basis for study for the OCN exam...
I recently took the OCN exam. I started out trying to read the huge core curriculum book....impossible! For one thing, it is in outline form. Forget it! What worked for me was using this book to find areas I needed to learn more about. I went through the entire book circling the answers I got wrong, studied weak areas using other sources, then back another time to see if I could get the answers ...

Study Guide to Core Curriculum for Critical Care Nursing 1 review
Maurene A. Harvey
Saunders, 2000
Buy Used
This book has one very positive aspect: the study cards in the back. There are 32 pages with two cards on each page. They are cardboard and perforated to tear out and carry with you. Good information on them. The rest of the book, however is very basic. Too much wasted space. Each chapter on a body system starts with section-related tips for studying for the CCRN followed by a few pages of ...

a quick, worthwhile read
At the recommendation of a professor with whom I was mentoring a group of first-year students, I read this book as a senior beginning my last semester at a liberal arts college where I'd had a great deal of freedom in choosing my gen. ed./ core curriculum. I only wish I'd read it my freshman year, when I was beginning my pursuit of a liberal education that ended up being very haphazard with the ...
