This is a required book for my nursing course and to be honest I have the 5th edition also (but it didn't give me the correct page numbers to cite for the course so I had to replace it). Well the 5th edition is better. they have practice questions at the end of each section that were good but the chapter reviews, you have to go online and download the answer key. This is just annoying, it should be in the back of the book as a reference if needed. Also the pictures and diagrams just blend in. Important info is only found in some of the tables and boxes, but it would be a lot better if that information was in the text as well.
this book is single handedly the best book I've used in nursing school. It is clearly outlined and the sections are well organized. The topics are concise but very informative, and the questions that follow each section are a wonderful way to assess how much you actually comprehend on the topic you just read about.I would recommend this book to anyone studying high acuity. If all textbooks could be like this, studying wouldn't be such a dreadful activity.
I am using this e-book on my iPad & iMac computer; both work perfectly! Something important to me when I considered buying this e-book was that the pages be numbered just like opening up paper version. This was a necessity for me because I am using it for school purposes and makes life a lot easier when trying to follow a rubric.The book itself is AMAZING. I have never actually written a review for a textbook before, but I felt compelled because of how much this book has helped me out though nursing school. Everything from the patho, pharm, & health assessment, to the care of the patient at the bed side can be easily accessed in this book, and the charts are fabulous. High-Acuity Nursing is by far the best text book I have opened up to read and I hope you have the same experience!
This book has a lot of good information that is easy to read and understand. The editing, however, is horrible. I have found so many errors, some of which are significant and could affect learning outcomes for students.
Though not required for my nursing class, the instructor highly recommended this book as an unofficial accompaniment. Between the required text (Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 13th ed) and this one, concepts are fully explored. B&S is a great book, but sometimes I need a different way of seeing things, and High-Acuity Nursing provides that. In addition, B&S is looking at things from a Med-Surg point of view (sub-critical Acute and Chronic) while H-A N looks at things from critical-acute point of view. It isn't as extensive as B&S, but I would still recommend this book as an addition to your library, even if it isn't required.
Excellent book. Straight forward with lots of sample test questions to practice before your exam. The chapters are devided in small sub-chapters which makes it easier for the reader to focus on small amounts of information at a single time.
Utterly Disappointing that I cannot get the etextbook for my windows 8 laptop. Even though it say no where that it is not compatible with window 8, and it is $20 more expensive than the ebook, and god knows how much heavier. I am very sad that the only device I am able to read this on is my phone. So disappointing. Don't bother with the ebook.
Best book in 4 semesters of nursing school. Easy to follow. Has a mini quiz at the end of each section and a longer one at the end of each chapter.
