Basic Nursing: Theory and Practice 5th ed

A wonderful nursing book. I loved it and so did all of my classmates. It is an easy read and full of good information.

so far so good

As a nursing student I am finding this book very comprehensive and easy to understand. Examples are helpful and the language is very clear and unintimidating. Very friendly. I will probably hang on to this one as a reference for a few years.

Potter and Perry have done an excellent job of describing and detailing the general information that a first year nursing student needs. Clear definitions,easy to read and understand tables and graphs,accurate and understandable diagrams and photos. This is a book that anyone can use no matter what your knowledge base is in the beginning.The study questions,key terms, and objectives are very helpful in studying and test preparation. This book also details steps for procedures in a clear and concise manner.With subjects from development to death covered, there really isn't a need for any other reference material.
