Nurse Practitioner's Business Practice and Legal Guide: .

I think every NP should have a copy. I update mine every few years to a more recent one - not the most recent as those are quite expensive. Earlier editions can usually be found for a reasonable price. Material is hard to keep updated because NP laws from state to state are changing by the day. Has a lot of other useful information for NP practice. Definitely worth having as part of my NP library.

Excellent book! It is well written, easy to read, engaging and explaining various legislative issues APNs should be familiar with. The level of the text probably basic and intermediate. Must read and know if you care not only about clinical knowledge and skills but also about topics on laws and regulations affecting APNs practice. What is additional value, you can get a glimpse how the APN's practice in your state varies from the one in other states.

Lots of good info in here and easy to read.

When I first saw this book on the list of required texts for my NP program I rolled my eyes and decided I would just rent it for a semester. However, after referencing it for a contract negotiation project I changed my mind and paid the rest in order to purchase. Every NP should have a copy of this book in his/her office -- Great reference for contracts, charting, supervising physician issues, malpractice insurance, etc.

Every NP should have this book! Yes, the content is not our usual blood and guts that we so enjoy as NPs. However, it is full of everything we never learned as NPs to function in the legal and business world of medicine and health care. You will know how valuable it is once you're out there.

Great book with wonderful information. Short, easy-to-read chapters. The author presents clear information in a no-nonsense fashion. Recommend for all NPs and NP students. She has even presented specific legal information for each state of the U.S.

Content looks interesting and is clearly written, however book binding was broken on delivery due to placement of CD sleeve in front pages. 2 replacements both came with broken bindings. For the price, broken bindings are not acceptable.

I downloaded the kindle version to my iPad and had instant easy access to much of the Medico-legal topics that I wasn't able to completely study during the FNP program. Buppert covers essential info that will help empower new NPs to negotiate and confidently transition into the new role.
