Great if you dont want to have to lug around that huge Med Surge book!! I love to take it to work with me and study on my breaks. I used to have to take the regular book and my back would pay for it. It also has the meat and potatoes of regular book without all the repeating and extra fluff. It is simple and to the point. So glad they came up with this! The book was also shipped so fast! I would highly recommend this book.

Full of information that you would need at a glance, whe you dont have time to dig through the massive textbook.

This is the PERFECT companion to my textbook, and with all the diseases in alphabetical order makes find g what you are looking for a piece of cake. I LOVE that there are also NANDA diagnoses for each, which makes writing my care plans so much easier.

This has been great, follows along with text and so easy to carry to clinical!

very helpful, this will get you an A in the class.

This is a great resource for every day clinical use, especially when I don't want to carry the huge textbook.

Company sent this helpful little companion book super fast. It is tiny and I am glad I bought it.

Love this book. It's basically all the important information that's in the text!!
