George Allen was a top-ranked NFL coach throughout the sixties and seventies, coaching in turn the Chicago Bears, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Washington Redskins. Raised in a home dominated by her three football-obsessed older brothers and her father's relentless schedule, Jennifer Allen came of age in a cauldron of testosterone and win-at-all-costs mentality. Buffeted by the coach's tumultuous firings and hirings, the Allen family was periodically propelled to new teams in new cities. And while her French-Tunisian mother attempted to teach Jennifer proper feminine etiquette, the author dreamed of being the first female quarterback in the NFL. But as she grew up, she yearned mostly to be someone her father would notice. In a macho world where only foot-ball mattered, what could she strive for? Who could she become? Allen has written a poignant memoir of the father she tried so hard to know, about a family life that was willfully sacrificed to his endless fanatical pursuit of the Super Bowl. What emerges is a fascinating and singular behind-the-scenes look at professional football, and a memorable, bittersweet portrait of a father and his daughter, written in a fresh and perceptive voice.

Nursing school book that helps
Format: Paperback
I use this book for nursing school :0.
The book covers a broad range of topics including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory conditions, diabetes, mental health, and much more. Each chapter is written by experts in the field, providing a high level of expertise and insight into best practices for managing various medical conditions.
One of the things I appreciate about this book is the clear and concise writing style. The guidelines are presented in a format that is easy to understand and follow, making it an ideal resource for busy practitioners. Additionally, the authors have included helpful algorithms and decision trees to aid in the management of complex cases.
Another strength of this book is the emphasis on evidence-based medicine. The guidelines are based on the latest research and are regularly updated to reflect new developments in the field. This ensures that healthcare professionals can provide the most effective and appropriate care for their patients.
Overall, I highly recommend Clinical Guidelines in Primary Care for healthcare professionals working in primary care settings. It is a comprehensive and practical guide that provides evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of a wide range of medical conditions.

Great Resource
Format: Paperback
As a resource for NP school (and even after, I'm sure), this book is fantastic. I recommend it to anyone asking if it's worth it. I, however, refer them to a different site than Amazon as it is cheaper straight from the publisher. Significantly so. A hundred dollars difference doesn't quite justify the next day or 2-day delivery.

So good for soap notes!
Format: Paperback
I wish I could have gotten this sooner when we had to write soap notes. It explains the illness, symptoms, tests, treatments, referrals and follow ups. I got it used and it came in great condition. Would definitely buy again!
