A Nursing Bible!:
It's big and cumbersome (there is a version where it's in two smaller volumes) but it has tons of information that every nursing student needs to have at their fingertips. It's very useful for writing careplans and doing papers for Capstone as well as for general studies.
so-so:
This book has a lot of information in it. I think it could stand to be trimmed down, made more concise and better organized. It does have some care plans in it, which some will find useful. It also has pretty good explanations of pt illnesses and what to focus on. Overall, this book is so-so.
Not what you think it is!:
The title of this textbook makes it sound like you are buying both volumes of this book when in reality you are only buying the first volume. I was very disappointed with this order because I need this book for a class I am taking, and am now behind because I only received the one volume instead of the two volumes that I thought I was ordering. Very dissatisfied!
An awsome book that will get alot of use:
The book is big, but it is a nice reference till I take Med. Surg. Love it.
