Customer Reviews

Nursing student loves it

This handbook cuts to the chase. As a nursing student I need to write Nursing Care plans before going to clinicals. These nursing care plans need to include medical diagnoses with the pathophysiology of the disease, medical management and nursing interventions; many times these write ups have to occur while I am in the clinical setting itself making using the whole testbook impractical. Being so concise and to the point this handbook really helps in completing the Nursing Care Plans and makes me look like I know what I am doing. Great book, great resource. Highly recommend it.

Handbook for the Textbook....

The book arrived promptly and in excellent condition. I am pleased with the ordering process, thank you.

Great Take Along during Clinicals

I love this book because when you are doing your clinicals, you do not have lug around the heavy textbook. I kept this book with me and soon found all of my peers asking to use it to look up disease processes. It even breaks down the type of care you need to give your patient so you can plan your day wisely. I would hold on to this book tightly because it is a jewel on the floor.

Easy To Carry

I am using this in my nursing program, it's a very condensed version of the garganuta Med/Surg book, great on the floor for quick reference.

An invaluable tool

This little powerhouse helped me make it through nursing school! It's a GREAT resource! Its 673 pages are packed with every conceivable disorder and/or disease with methods of diagnosis, diagnostic tests, medications for treatment followed with a full nursing process from assessment through management and outcomes. I used this book to write many, many care plans & carried it back and forth from classes to clinical to home -- it's a very portable, invaluable tool -- I wouldn't have survived nursing school without it.
