The authors do a fairly good job of getting the material across. What I don't like about the book is that the index is LOUSY, and there is no glossary. While this may not sound like a big deal, its extremely annoying when trying to quickly find material amongst its 1321 pages. The binding of the book is decent and will put up with some abuse, but the pages themselves are rather thin and will rip if you turn too quickly.
Not gonna lie, I actually like this book. hehehehI was reading it on a plane to nyc and a physician (who was sitting next to me) asked me if I was a medical student. I told him no nursing. He was like wow, that is a very detailed, very eloquent book. Good for you.
Very good book, useful for a student.The online-website is used, wish students also could see the Power Points and Pictures. For me that would be good repetation in front of the examnsBest regardsKristina Kjellandpost@kristinas.no
Some of the pages were missing in the book and some pages repeated twice, missing pertinent pages needed for my paper and assignment. It is not the seller's fault rather it is a manufacturer's issue. Now, it is too late to ask for a replacement because the summer semester is almost over and I cannot afford to send back the current book I have. Just trying to manage the book for the remainder of the semester.
This is a great textbook for my BSN class. Very expensive book and I saved half off the book store. It was new also, so I am very pleased. I got such a good price I will be able to keep this book as a reference.
some chapters are kinda long and get into a lot of detail. Good for those interested in working in the ICU
A tolerable read so far, which is saying a lot to anyone who has cracked a nursing textbook before.
Great quality for a new book. Seller shipped quick!
