On her experience as a book reviewer, Dr. Harris-Haman shares, “I believe in improving wellness and mindfulness in nursing and advancing the profession to practice at the extent of our scope of practice. My personal belief is in taking on new opportunities and being a lifelong learner. I continue to learn and seek new opportunities, and I feel there is always one more thing I can learn or do. 

“Reviewing books allows me to look into other aspects of nursing and education that I would not otherwise see. This keeps my knowledge level up and I learn new things with each review. Doody’s has been easy to work with. Their process is easy to follow, and they provide great direction. I cannot say that there has been one specific book that stands out over others as each book has been at either a different education level or address a different topic or area in nursing allowing me to keep my horizons expanded.”
