Nursing Research: 6th Ed
Used this book from the local library and found it as good and clear as the latest 2006 best seller on nursing research. If a greater understanding of methodology is required, then I would suggest you grab a copy of this!

Have ordered a copy for myself as it will help in my 3rd year degree programme. I would consider this book a good buy and was cheaper to buy as 'used' than it was on ebay!
