Some colleagues and I are doing some research on texts that are used for NP education and I am trying to compile a list of textbooks that are used for your PMH courses. I have included below the list of books that I use and would appreciate knowing if there are others that you use. I am interested particularly in Advance Practice Nursing text but would like to know all that you use.
