Customer Reviews

great resource

I got this textbook as a required book in my NP program. I have used it since then as a reference in clinical practice. The doctors in my office also use it as a concise, easy to use source of information. It includes details of therapy including price, that might be outdated by now but that at least provide information for comparison.

A "must" for any nurse practitioner and/or student

Primary Care Across the Lifespan was first recommended to me when I first became a nurse practitioner student at Georgia State University. Numerous books had been recommended throughout my program, but I found this particular text to be most helpful. It is concise, well organized and easy to use. Being a family nurse practitoner student, it was excellent because it focused on "care across the lifespan". I highly recommend this book and am grateful to that wonderful instructor who had recommended it me.

BUY THIS BOOK

Robinson's Primary Care Across the Lifespan was first recommended on an NP listserv as "the book to have". I bought it right off the press and have used it as an essential reference. This book is one that you will pull off the shelf everyday, whether student or practitioner. It should be the primary text for FNP's for years to come!Bottom line: If you are an FNP, or just want a great text for primary care, this is it. I promise you, you will use this book and wear it out.
