The Writers

Elizabeth Heavey completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Economics while simultaneously completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.She earned the College of Nursing award and completed both degrees Summa Cum Laude. She began her nursing career working with high risk obstetrics patients in Miami Florida and moved back to Rochester to work at Strong Memorial Hospital and pursue her Master’s Degree from the University of Rochester.She graduated, earning the Eleanor Hall Outstanding Master’s Student Award while working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and High Risk Labor and Delivery. She also functioned as the HIV outreach testing coordinator for the obstetrics service and received high accolades from the state for the program she developed which improved compliance and follow-up tremendously in high risk populations. She worked as a Nurse-Midwife at the Family Birth Place at Parkridge hospital where she loved “catching babies” and taking care of her patients for five years. She also continued her education during this time and completed her Ph.D. in Epidemiology, with high honors, at the University of Buffalo. She accepted a position as an assistant professor of nursing at the State University of New York College at Brockport in 2004 and began teaching community health nursing and statistics for nurses.In 2008, she completed a post-doc fellowship in adolescent medicine at the University of Rochester. Her research interests focus on adolescent reproductive issues and public health. In her spare time, Beth is an avid reader, runner and gardener. She is frequently found advocating for public health issues within her community and running around the playground with her family.She hopes this book will convince undergraduate nurses they each have a tremendous capacity to contribute to their patients and their professional field through the delivery and evaluation of compassionate nursing care. –This text refers to the paperback edition.

Poorly written, error ridden, irrelevant. Move one.
July 28, 2018

This is an amazingly bad book. It is riddled with math errors, it jumps from the authors text to the “From the Statistician” text seemingly at random, and the definitions of terms are consistently imprecise and inaccurate. There were times when in her explanations she would would use a chart and try to interpret it, except there was a calculation and result missing that you HAD to do in order for the information to make sense (For example, on pg. 36, question 25. The formula for calculating mortality rate is never given nor explained, but somehow we’re supposed to know how to do this. Yup, I Googled it. Good grief!) Her understanding of the difference between an bar chart and a histogram is wrong as well. A nurse who has a Associates degree does not flow directly into a Bachelor degree, nor does a Bachelor of nursing flow directly into a Masters. There may be huge gaps of time in between these degrees, and they may have a second Bachelors after a Masters. This happens! On the other hand a 6 year old child does flow directly into a 7 year old, then an 8 year old. So charting degrees would go best on a bar chart and a childs age would go best on a histogram. And how do you like this: “To find the p-value, just look in the appendix chart.” Except the appendix chart doesn’t have any data that matches the question. Nice. If you are trying to learn statistics, avoid this book at all costs. The author writes in a campy style, at an 8th grade reading level, which I suppose is supposed to make you feel comfortable. All it does is reinforce the fact that the author is a nurse, not a statistician, and shouldn’t be writing a textbook to teach statistics. Everything is made much harder than necessary because you have to figure it all out on your own. Thank goodness for Google searches and the number of University professors of statistics who share their lessons online for free. For just about every chapter, I was in our instructors office showing her issues I had, and she had to pull out ANOTHER statistics book to explain what Heavey was trying to say. That tells it all. It’s absolute junk.

Avoid this text, if you can. If you must use this text, buy used.
January 9, 2015

Unfortunately my review conveys huge disappointment. Avoid this text, if you can. If you must use this text, buy used. Just make sure it’s the correct edition for your particular course/instructor. Don’t fall for the online support. Online learning support offered by the publisher, and for which an access code is required, is marketing B.S., and hardly helpful to the student. Remember, you can always buy the access code if you think you need to see the same content online.

This text is well marketed, but weak in content. It’s poorly written, proof-read and edited. The publisher has success with this text by essentially offering a canned course to instructors, making it relatively easy for them. For the student, however, it’s an insult overall, and singularly unimpressive as a learning tool. This includes the author’s SPSS (IBM statistics program) “support”. Be aware that you may need to access YouTube and/or more sophisticated material to adequately and thoroughly understand these basic concepts, as presented by the author.

Another demeaning aspect of this text is evidenced by sarcasm veiled in lame humor that is peppered throughout the flimsy text. Ironically, the numbers of words and the value of content contained in the “statistician” contributions (offered by the Heavey’s epidemiologist-spouse), far exceed the author’s. Elizabeth Heavey’s writing style fosters confusion rather than clarity- even of simplest concepts. I don’t know who this author imagines she is writing for. Examples are not illustrative, and she never offers more than one illustration or example per concept; nor does she offer any particular nursing research wisdom pertaining to any aspect of statistics she claims to teach.

Online learning support includes author, word-for-word, digital audio recordings of 13 chapters. The author yawns and sighs, sirens, dogs, traffic, and general atmospheric noise drones along as she reads her chapters with zero enthusiasm. She does not read the statistician contributions, however. Too bad. Throughout the text the author constantly reminds the reader of her PhD in epidemiology and her college instructor status.This text does not represent the nursing profession well. I am embarrassed by it.

The end-of-chapter assignments are worthy of note. The author’s style extends to the assignments. Confusion and frustration versus clarity and discrete understanding of simple concepts.

Shame on the mercenary publisher who let this text loose on the nursing education community. I’ll take this experience into account when teaching.

March 22, 2016

Did not care for this book. Too much left unsaid, too few concrete examples and the numerous review questions had no relation to the sparse examples offered in the short chapters and only half of them had answers; am I right or am I wrong? What’s wrong? There were math errors in the examples — not good. It’s almost like they wrote the book to keep statistics confusing instead of simplifying it into a useable tool. If you have a recent background in statistics and are familiar with the terminology and tests it may be alright. Thank God our instructor was able to decipher the codes and give us clear examples for application. There is a web site with some interesting learning tools that should be utilized right away. I’m sorry if you have to use this as a text book for class. Pretty much left the entire class feeling confused but evidently we did learn something because we were able to cobble together a research project using information from the text.

Don’t bother unless it is recommended
January 8, 2019

Had to buy this for a grad course. This book is so worthless and the explanation is horrible and jumbled. Luckily I took a statistics class the previous year. You will be using YouTube as a professor to understand anything she is trying to say. The test questions at the end of each chapter sometimes leaves you saying wth!! In short, I am glad it is over with.

I hate reading and statistics is definitely not something I’d ever enjoy reading. But this book was straight to the point and each chapter were very easy to follow; I was surprised that I read a good amount of the book to study from.

I definitely would recommend this book and it’s easy to resell it to the next group of students!

This book is okay, but very frustrating!
Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2017

The book was okay, but not the best. An easy to read book, but Some concepts weren’t explained in great detail. The practice questions in the book were by far the worst. The author doesn’t put answers to ALL the questions, and when she does, there’s no much further explanations, which I think would benefit students taking stats since concepts would be more better understood if we knew the rational.

Stats made easy
Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2014

This was a simple introduction to Stats. Chapters were short and succinct. This author is great with many online resources some included with the book and others I found just looking up the book title on google! I was happy to buy it on online store and save some money rather than buy it in our University Bookstore.

Service was timely.

Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2016

Received in great condition. I purchased this book for class, as it was a required textbook and $40 cheaper than it was sold for at the bookstore. The chapters are short, but explain things better than my professor. There are review questions at the end of chapters and have answers.
