Customer Reviews

Good

This is a really good book. I learned more from this book than I did from the assigned Medical/ Surgical book. This is a book that I would highly recommend for anyone that wants a great review (with the correct answers!!!). I did not have a text book that went with this workbook, but as far as I am concerned I did not need it. Actually it seemed like my teacher took some of her test questions verbatum from this book. I am so glad that I purchased this book and will be handing this over to a newer nursing student!!! Great content and cheap too!!!

As advertised

Received in a timely manner. Book is in good condition and no visible wear and tear inside. Cover is in good condition. Very pleased with this purchase.

An Essential Study Guide book for success in nursing!

I can't imagine a more helpful study guide. Full of NCLEX test questions, their answers, and an explanation of WHY it is the correct answer (in the back of the book) plus succinct yet complete outlines of the chapters and more; this is a book for students who want to learn the nursing material as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Truly a gem of a book. Great for study/review the night before the test. I found this especially helpful with my study of Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Balance which is one of the more difficult concepts for me and many others to grasp. Use it along with the textbook, CD-ROM and companion websites for greater learning. Any time you spend in this book is time well-spent. A well-kept secret aid are the study guides to nursing textbooks which, at many schools, are "optional" to purchase, but trust me, they are mandatory for your learning! Good luck future nurses! Soar!

Works for Me, too!!!

I used the updated version of this book, and my goodness, it was worth the time. I could not put it down...it is rare that anyone can be excited about reading a textbook, but that is my feeling!

Great for Nursing Students and New Grads

This was our textbook in nursing school our final year, and I often refer to it now that I am practicing as an RN. It is well organized with great illustrations and care plans. I am shopping for a second one to keep at home - so I don't have to carry it between work and home. I also highly recommend the accompanying paperback reference - especially if you are in clinicals or write care plans. It is easy to carry with you - and you can find nursing dx, interventions etc easily for many disease/conditions.
