Quick arrival:
I haven't used this too much, but it came quickly with the free shipping. We are just starting to use our books in lecture and I've been told that this helps a lot when you are on the floor and need something quick to look at for a reminder of the lecture materials.
Cliff's Notes:
This handbook was neither recommended nor required, but I love it! It's like a MedSurg Cliff's notes. The handbook gives a down-and-dirty overview of the signs and symptoms manifested by each diagnosis, the pathophysiology, and expected treatment. It's great to brush up on a patient's diagnosis in the clinical setting, or to review for an exam. Also, with the PDA version included, it can be accessed digitally to be even more convenient. Love it!
Good investment:
I bought this book to accompany my textbook in my med-surg class. It has really helped me with studying and it is so much easier to carry to clinicals instead of trying to carry the big book. I was hesitant on spending the money, but the information that is offered in this book is information that I will use throughout nursing school and my nursing career.
love this book:
I love this book for reference on the job. It has tons of diseases and has a great format. I used the full version in nursing school so I found it easy to navigate when i started to practive. It also comes with a code so you can download the book to your PDA.
