Customer Reviews

Very good!!!

I found it is very useful book for my about almost all aspects of infants and children nursing care. I join read and work with this book. It's just wonderful text on simple English that I can read almost without any difficult. Thanks for authors and for publisher.

A necessary text for nursing school

This is a classic textbook, and I've heard from many other nursing students at other universities that this is the text that they used, as well. Especially good if your prof touches on something and you want/need a fuller explanation. Make sure to get the study guide, though, as it will make all the difference in the world for exams and boards!!!!

7th Edition worth its weight in gold

Whaley and Wongs updated bible for paediatric nurses is essential reading now it has gone in to its seventh edition, Those who had the 1995 version will already be familiar with the fully comprehensive care plans and evidence based practice rigorously detailed within the book, but 2002's new edition not only updates knowledge but also improves clarity using excellent illustrations, and also includes an entire new chapter regarding community care- an issue at the forefront of modern nursing. This is a core text for all students and qualified nurses alike.

antsy nursing student

I have a hard time reading some books that are required in nursing school. However this book is exceptional! I loved this reader friendly textbook. It is very easy to understand. I wish more of my books were like this one. Thank you Donna Wong.

The definitive pediatric nursing textbook

The 6th edition of this textbook is the best ever. Wong as usual provides the latest research with every topic covered. The color-coded chapters make it easy to use. The CD-ROM is very useful as a study aid and to view clips of nursing procedures. Highly recommended for nursing students and practicing pediatric nurses.
