Customer Reviews

In excellent condition with an even better price!

I used this book for writing care plans; not outdated at all! I’d say this book edition is perfect if you’re looking to save money and help with personal assignments. Check on any new NANDA guidelines but thus far was able to use this edition in 2022. One of the few older editions I know that still run over $40.00. ***Always consult with your professor before buying older editions.

Best Help for Nursing Students!!!

This is the best care planning book ever. It was recommended by one of my instructors and it has saved me some much unneeded additional stress. This book is easy to read, understand, and follow for any stage of a nursing program. Must have for sure!

This book is a nursing student's lifesaver!

This book saved me in nursing school! Every semester my teachers kept a copy of my nursing plans to show future students. My friends struggled with care plans, but this book made it easy for me. Highly recommended!

If you are a nursing student, you NEED this book...

I am a senior nursing student and this book is a GODSEND for care plan assignments and as a supplement for class lectures. Organization by medical diagnosis rather than nursing diagnoses helps by including pathophysiology and disease-specific nursing interventions. Interventions are listed very thoroughly with clearly explained rationales. This book is also a great tool for clinical though its size makes it somewhat cumbersome to carry around all day. I highly highly recommend it!

Really Helpful!

I am in an accelerated RN program and I had never before written a care plan. I found the required Carpenito book too difficult to follow and my clinical instructor recommended this one. It was great. All you have to do is look up the condition you are ineterested in and it will give you all revelant care plans. I highly receommend it to all new nursing students.

Must have book!!!

I am a 2nd year nursing student and this book is well organized and covers a multitude of diagnosises that others do not.If you need it broken down by Nursing diagnosis and their definitions to qualify a client for that diagnosis,this information is in the beginning of the book.This is a must book for nursing clinicals.
