Review by Denise Martin, 2001-09-03

I bought this book/CD set thinking it would save me time in searching for nursing programs. In fact, the "searchable" database on the CD only allows you to search two or three of the over 100 data fields: just state, degree sought (e.g. Baccalaureate vs. Masters), and Master's specialty if applicable. The whole reason I bought the set was to narrow my search to schools with specific types of programs, regardless of the state. Indeed, that would seem to be the point of buying the set. However, that is simply not possible with this set. To start with, the pull-down menus for the two or three fields that are searchable are so poorly programmed that they don't work half of the time. Then, users will need to scroll through each school's program individually, with no option to print the information for later review. It's a crying shame that an executive decision was not made to forego the cutsie multimedia presentation that greets users at the start of the CD for something of substance and usefulness in the search tools.
