It wasn't mandatory for my FNP program but I found it extremely helpful, anyway (if you can afford it). A great resource if you are away from peds in your first job, then have to start looking after them a few years later.
I would recommend this product. The book is educaitonal, but it is large. There is also easy access to all the information with coded indexes available within the book. It has helped me with my education greatly.
I love this textbook!!! Even if you are not in pediatric primary care it is a great guideline on how to approach pediatric patients. It also lists great resources at the end of each chapter. A must-have for peds practitioners!!
This book is full of information. I am a FNP student, it has been very helpful.
This book is helpful for the student who needs to study and while they are in training. I would have liked a more practice guideline approach with easier to obtain information at my finger tips. Nonetheless, it is chocked full of information. This 2009 edition is outdated, but for the price the primary information such as anatomy, physiology, and growth and development don't change.
Tons of useful information. Using it as a Protocol Book in office. Easy to use. Recommend it!!!
I am a faculty member in a PNP program and I have found this text to be extremely well written. Key information has been added including development, cultural awareness and mental health to name a few. This book is a great foundational text for all primary care providers. It should be recommended as part of all pediatric curriculum.
Lots of useful information but this book is so big and bulky it is impractical to use except on the desktop. Very heavy.
