Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Service [Rating: 1 out of 5]
I've bought this book from "Better world books" almost a month ago ,and I still have not received it. Customer service doesn't respond to my e-mail. Service is terrible.2) It helped me then....It helps me now! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
At first, being a very green student in terms of learning nursing care, the very size of this book was intimidating. Being in an ADN-RN program, the learning if fast-paced so we often had a lot of chapters to read in a short amount of time. Though I wasn't a straight A student, I still found this book to be very helpful in aiding my understanding of the material, perhaps more now when I review it than at the time when I first read it. My favorite part is the illustrated procedure pages with step by step instructions. It covers everything from properly mitering a bed to IV therapy and so much more. I think our instructors chose well in picking this one for their first semester students. It's a great intro to learning nursing and a great review book too. I'm in my second semester and review it often while studying Med Surg.3) Potter & Perry Is The Best Textbook I've Ever Used [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I found this book to be very comprehensive and easy to read. I also love the illustrations. The skills are very easy to follow.4) Much good information but just too big to carry daily [Rating: 2 out of 5]
This is the textbook we use for the beginning nursing class. It provides much information for the nursing student but it is just too big to carry to school everyday. I know the authors have seperate clinical skills book. They just try to make more money from the students. They should just seperate the this book into two sections-theory and skills. This will be much helpful for the students to handle it.5) This book is a mystery to me~ [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I had purchased this book for my introductory nursing course. I found it very boring to read and difficult to follow. It should be written by Perry Mason!However, I do feel that in later years, it is a good reference and is good for assessing patients.
