Summary: Information is outdated
Review: As a grad student interested in starting my own practice upon graduation, I found this book to be useless. It has been reprinted by another publishing company and its original copyright date is 1999. Between then and now - 2004 - a lot of things have changed. Therefore, I would recommend that anyone who requires current information should look elsewhere. This is a very expensive book as is not helpful at all!!!

Summary: 2nd edition
Review: I found Carolyn Buppert's second edition of Business Practice and Legal Guide to be very helpful. The additional chapters are useful for my practice and for research on a state wide level. I would recommend this book to nurse practitioners and students of the profession. It is proving to be a valuable resource for improving NP practice in Alabama. Be sure to get the second edition (2003/2004)as the first was published in 1995.

Summary: Excellent resource for any nurse practitioner
Review: I had the pleasure of reading this book while finishing my last year in nurse practitioner school.Ms. Buppert is a master in defining how to negotiate business contracts. I met the author at a nurse practioner conference in Nashville Tn and she was very down to earth and truly magnificent in her knowledge of laws affecting nurse practioners. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: 
Summary: A one-stop resource for and about nurse practitioners
Review: This book contains 1) the law of all states on nurse practitioner scope of practice, collaborative requirements and qualifications, 2) templates for employment contracts and independent contractor agreements, 3)a primer on reimbursement and 4) strategies for marketing and advancing within the profession.
Rating: 
Summary: Informative, helpful
Review: This book is a great way to access state-by-state information related to NP practice. I do recommend that readers not solely rely on its information. They should still contact each state's board of nursing. I found discrepancies between Ms. Buppert's requirements for practice in Ohio and actual law. Overall, I highly recommend this book to both NP students and clinicians.
