This book is my primary resource for anything related to nursing. I used the 9th edition extensively when I was in school, and there was rarely a time when it wasn't useful.I've only skimmed through the 10th edition, and from what I can tell, the material meets my expectations. I am, however, very disappointed in the quality of the images in the eBook. If I could go back in time, I would have just bought the print edition. Some images have text that is very difficult to read. Even when zooming in, the text is blurry.
This book has helped me so much in nursing school. I have used it for case studies so far. I would highly recommend it for nurse students, and new nurses. Very happy with this book.
You can not use the index to search for a specific disease, instead you have to flip through page by page to get to what you need. It is very time consuming and not practical for a nursing student. Also kindles use of location within a book and not page numbers makes it impossible to cite correctly. The book is great but i wish I had not gotten the kindle version.
One of the main reasons that I got the electronic book rater than the hard cover was to have "quick" easy access this wonderful material. Imagine my surprise when I find that the index has no page associated with the terms therein. No link to access the info, just the knowledge that it is there somewhere.Due to the size of the book (I assume here) the search is an exercise in futility. Spend the extra $10 and get a hard cover.
I love this book. It has nursing diagnoses and interventions as well as instruction for nursing procedures. The facility I am employed at has a copy at every nurses station and I found that I refer to it regularly. I now have a personal copy for my home. I recommend this book to anyone in the nursing field.
A must have for Nursing school, I use it for my care plans, papers, case studies, and for procedures. I get 100% on my assignments whenever I use this book. My mom is nurse and she has the 9th ed. & she swear s by it, I see why. I told my professor, I purchase this book and she said you invested in the nursing bible! I will continue to use this book throughout the rn program & nursing career.
Love this book. There is one at the nurses station at work and I loved it so much I had to buy it!! It's perfect for reference if you need, or for writing care plans if needed, or in services for staff. I look forward to having this for my own and not having to share at work ha ha !
I absolutely LOVE this book and wish I had bought it sooner - it would've made last semester of nursing school much easier. But, I'll be going into Fall semester equipped and ready. This book is definitely a MUST have and I highly recommend it for nursing students. It's also a great reference, in general, for all nurses.
