Great product
The textbook is in a great condition as in the description. I had a fast delivery and very satisfied. Thanks

Wonderful
Came in perfect condition. Bought this book for half the price my campus was selling it for AND it came w/ the study guide. If I would have purchased it at my campus bookstore, I would have had to pay for that separately. I am extremely happy with shipping conditions and my books condition. I always have been. This is why I shop Amazon Prime for all my college book needs! I even sell back my used books and make most of that money back! I only wish I would have found Amazon sooner! LUV IT!

This seller sucks
I never got my item and I email the seller several times without his/her sending a reply. Stay away from him/her!!!!! I'm still waiting on my refund from the website after 10 days.

Amazon clean up your mess
Amazon sold me two books that had been sold a year before but never removed from their inventory.I had a hard time getting a refund.After several calls they finally refunded me but I did not have the textbooks for the first 3 weeks of my class.They are still showing the books as shipping soon in my open orders.Disorganized.

Great service

Terrible book
This book is almost like a dictionary. It throws a million terms at you and has less supplemental information to actually help you comprehend research. I bought it for a class, but I really wish I would've saved my money. I seriously couldn't bear to read it, even when I had a test the night before. I just reviewed the terms in it and went to bed.

it's a text book, what do you want?
It is required for a class, I find it more interesting than one would expect, covering important and interesting facts about research without putting the reader in a coma

Nursing Research: Reading, Using, and Creating Evidence
Great book.You can buy several books or just one.This one goes into detail into quantitative, qualitative, etc.Great explanations.

Nursing Research: Reading, Using and Creating Evidence
Excellent book, reads like a story book, well almost.
Research written easy to understand for a novice.

Too Wordy
This book was written so simplistically that it was hard to keep my mind from wandering. The New Term and especially Grey Matter boxes were very helpful.It seemed like I was doing a lot of reading (impacting my available time) to glean a little knowledge.Nursing Research: Reading, Using, and Creating Evidence ...

OB Nursing Book
Book came promptly and exactly as described. Would def do business with this seller again! Thank you!! :)

Horrible
I ordered a college text book on Aug 5th for a class starting the end of August.The seller never shipped the item and never contacted me letting me know that the item would not be shipped.Due to Amazon's "rules" i could not cancel my order until Sept 5th.I had to order another text book, pay twice as much, risk paying for both books, and I didn't have my book for the first two weeks of class.This was probably the worst expierence I have ever had with Amazon.Worst seller ever!!

Old's Maternal-newborn -definition of fair
My book was not broken, but it came without the CD, and has many pages with written comments. If the book is not complete (as without the CD) it should have the "fair" disclosure that the CD is not included.

Great for clinicals
I love all the clinical companions to my nursing texts. This is great to toss in my clinical bag and can fit into my scrub top pocket too. You certainly couldn't use this in place of the text for tests and such but is great for a review and is broken up and indexed nicely. ... Read more

Product Description
Unlike any other care plan book on the market, this resource contains selected care plans for pediatric, maternity, and psychiatric nursing in addition to medical-surgical nursing care plans for adult care. This is the only care planning resource that allows you to use one book throughout your nursing curriculum. Color-coded medical-surgical, maternity, pediatric, and psychiatric sections help you quickly find each content area while giving the book a full-color look and feel.

• Clinical experts update each subject area to ensure the most current, accurate, and clinically relevant content available.
• Each care plan employs a consistent format of Overview/Pathophysiology, Health Care Setting, Assessment, Diagnostic Tests, Nursing Diagnoses, Desired Outcomes, Interventions with Rationales, and Patient-Family Teaching and Discharge Planning.
• An open and attractive two-color design facilitates quick and easy retrieval of information.
• Nursing interventions and rationales are listed in a clear two-column format to make the information more accessible.
• Related NIC intervention and NOC outcome labels are listed for each nursing diagnosis.
• The Patient-Family Teaching and Discharge Planning section highlights key patient education topics and list resources for further information.
• Health Care Setting is specified for each care plan, since different conditions are treated in various settings such as hospital, primary care, long-term care facility, community, and home care.
• Outcome criteria with specific timelines enable nurses to set realistic goals for nursing outcomes and provide quality, cost-effective care.
• Detailed rationales for each nursing intervention help you to apply concepts to clinical practice.
• Includes the most recent NANDA Taxonomy II nursing diagnoses.
• Separate care plans on Pain and Palliative and End-of-Life Care focus on palliative care for patients with terminal illnesses, as well as relief of acute and chronic pain.

Great Resource
Great book, wonderful resource for those many late nights nursing students put in for their clinical preps.Helps you put the whole picture together!Would highly recommend to other nursing students and even seasoned RNS as you can never have enough resources!

BEST CARE PLAN BOOK EVER!!!
If anyone has had as much difficulty finding the perfect book as I have, they know whats up. So I literally spent 20 hours of research searching for the PERFECT care plan book. After my exhaustive study, I found this little dream of a book!! So why this one?? I chose this book because it gives you EVERYTHING you need to create an A+++ care plan. It includes disease processes, the nursing diagnosis related to the said medical condition, outcomes, and the best part- it includes both interventions with ALL the scientific rationales in an easy to read and fluent manner that makes writing up those dreaded care plans a breeze!! I would strongly recommend this book due to it's all inclusive style and really mean it when I say "This is the best care plan book ever". I bought the 2nd edition which was way cheaper than the newer version for pennies on the dollar and it is just as good as the one's my friends bought for $50 dollars. It's a must have and can be used for all area's of study as it includes Med Surg, Psych, Peds, and OB sections, so you can literally use it all through school!! I am thrilled and I usually don't leave reviews but I hope you take my word that this book is a MUST HAVE!! :)

Not what my clinical instructors want in a care plan
This book was ok.It does cover all subjects in nursing school, but the interventions and rationales were not really what my instructors wanted.This is the book that was required by my school and I got it, but half way through my first semester I ended up buying another care plan book by ackley and ladwig and then my grades on careplans went up exponentially.Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care

Content of book
This Nursing Care Plan book sucks. I bought this because the reviews were good but I have no idea why! There are limited care plans in here. I thought there would be a wide aray but that's not the case. The diagnoses I had to do weren't even in here for the particular disease process. A better recommendation is "A nursing handbook" by Betty Ackley & Gail Ladwig (8th edition)

Easy to use
I bought this book to help write care plans for pediatrics.It is a pretty good book and very easy to use.The pathophysiology in the book is pretty simple so I had to use other resources for that.I found repeating interventions with repeating rational for several of the peds careplans.It did save me time from searching peer reviewed rational specific to pediatrics.I would recommend the book as a source but it probably isn't going to help you write your entire careplan.I hope to be able to use again for mental health careplans. ...

Leadership Roles
I would recommend this book for any nurse that finds herself in a leadership role! It includes very helpful information about budgeting, evaluations and other vital managment skills.

Wikipedia cited as a source
This book cites both Wikipedia and answers.com as sources. Need I say more? It is nothing short of terrible.

Don't pay for priority shipping
I purchased this book last week and paid for priority shipping. I needed this book for a test I have tomorrow. I understand with labor day weekend, things take a little longer. However, I paid regular shipping on another item the same day and both items came today in the mail. I believe the sellers where from the same state. Why did I pay extra?

Other than that, the book is in GREAT condition. Its just too bad it won't be as helpful as it could have been yesteday.

Great service
I was very impressed with how quickly my book was sent out and how fast it got here. Great Service.

I purchased this book as used, and it showed up looking like brand new! I was very impressed.

Ripped out pages
The book was missing half of it's pages. This is a study guide book, and 75% of the answers to the study guide were cut out of the book. Therefore the book is completely useless. As for the book itself, there a serious lack of multiple choice questions. There were 0-1 question per chapter.

To me in a timely manner
Time was of the essence to get the book before school started and I did. It saved me $138 over the bundle it was attached to at the campus store.

Highly recommended
This study guide was very helpful as a supplement along with the text book. It helped me focus my readings and review the information we covered. I would recommend this to anyone who buys the book!

Wong's Essentials of Pediatric Nursing
The customer service was prompt. My book came on time and it was well packaged.If i need other books i will still purchase from Amazon.com.

Great for health care providers
I purchased this book as a just have to know the many things i need to know working in the field health care an i think it's worth it.

Worth the price!
I love this dictionary..When i started nursing school, people told me that I probably would not need it because everything is online now. However, I still got this dictionary and it has not let me down. I use it very often for Pharmacology and Pathophysiology..alot of medical terminology that may not have accurate meanings online can be found with authentic definitions in this dictionary. There are 100s and 100s of pictures..I would recommend ONLY this medical dictionary to anyone looking for one..There was only ONE time where the dictionary did not have a word I was looking for, but other than it was good.

Never recieved item!
The seller never sent me the item.I contacted her 2 times and she never responded.Then I placed a claim with Amazon and while it was processing I contacted her 1 more time telling her it was illegal to take someones money and not send the product.It wasn't until that e-mail she responded to tell me it was lost in the mail.She could have told me that from the begining and refunded my money but she didn't.And it was a school book, (for college) and I was 4 weeks into class before a response.Terrible Customer service!!!!!

Awesome Dictionary!!
I thought I may be wasting my money when I bought this dictionary, but I tell you, I have found every word I looked. I love the pictures, they are awesome, and the book is excellent quality. When I am studying, I have it handy and whala! there it is!

Buy it if you need one.

resource manual for nursing Research
I bought this manual hoping to help me in a graduate level course on Scientific Inquiry. I did not find that it was particularly helpful in preparing for my tests and quizzes. I am hoping that the different forms that are included might help me as I prepare to do my own scholarly project next semester.

Resource Manual to Accompany Nursing Research
I never got this book and I am pissed.The class is half way over and I got screwed out of my money.

Resource Manual to Accompany Nursing Research (Polit & Beck, 2008)...
This is a great book if you have trouble with termiology or need a boost in understadning of research for nurses, otherwise...the text book is great without this addition.

Ouch
If I didn't need it for a class...I would never have bought this.

It hurts my soft-science brain to read.

Required for MSN quantitative research class. Each chapter has big crossword (we don't do ) plus lots of questions applying to the chapter or examples given. Lots of studies in the appendices that questions are based on. Many sections also have answers to application questions in the back. Haven't used CD yet.

Medical Surgical Nursing Made Incredibly Easy
This book is GREAT, you can read 10 pages in this book or 60 in a regular text book and get the same information except simplified!! it is incredibly easy!!!

Med-Surg
I am using this to prepare for testing out of college level medical-surgical nursing. It allows for almost unlimited scenarios and corrects mistakes as you go.

medical book
Great to deal with for business. Book in the condition stated and would order from them again

Better than the required text for Med-Surg 1
I bought this thinking it would be a great addition to my text book reading for Med-Surg 1. It has REPLACED my text! It is so much more concise and easy to read, I just go over this and my notes before a test. This has saved so much time (which is not a resource in great abundance for nursing students). This book has saved my buns! I just wish I saved my money instead of buying the text.

superb service
I was at first s little skeptical about purchasing this product from a source other than Amazon.However, the book arrived in perfect condition in a timely manner.This was a Christmas gift for my nephew who is in nursing school, and I was proud to give him such a high-quality gift for such a good price.Thank you!! ...

Well worth it!!
For any nursing student...these books are well worth the money!! Sometimes they just help make things stick better!

Great Service
The product was shipped in a timely manner. This product was what it was described as and I should've listened to the other reviews before I purchased this product. Not helpful for LPN student. Nice pictures and descriptions, but not as descriptive enough for nursing student. So, in the end this product was not as I expected it to be. Would not recommend this product.

Good supplement to your studies.
I used this book along with volume one for my Diabetes Exam. It has cute, fun ways to help remember important points of study. I think volume one had better pages for diabetes than this one, but it still has good information. I plan on using the books throughout the rest of nursing school.

Visual learners get this now!!
This is a great book for any level of nursing student! It provides a fun way to review things or learn them for the first time! It's great to learn another way than just staring for hours at a textbook! P.S. This book was highly recommended by one of my professors!

great nursing memory supplement
This book, in conjunction with the others in the series, is a great memory tool when trying to learn the various disease processes and symptoms related to them. There is something for every system and area of nursing. As a nurse educator, I enjoy distributing these after I have discussed a specific topic to reinforce the material on which I have lectured. ... Read more

Policy & Politics review
The book is fine. It is easy to read and understand. However, it was presented as "new" and it was not new. There is writing in the book. I don't mind used books, I just don't think they should be misrepresented.

Policy & Politics book
I did not receive the correct edition of the book that I ordered.I received an old copy.However, the seller did give me my money back.I was already a good 2 weeks into my class by the time I received the wrong edition and then had to go and purchase the correct book.So, beware of who you buy from!!

used book review
Purchased with title of "Like New".I would not say it was like new on the outside cover and corners.They were pretty worn with a Used book sticker on it.Inside it's like new, with no highlights or markings.It works for what I need it for and it arrived in plenty of time.

Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care
Recommended text book for Policy, Ethics and Legal Issue class.Very good book, have also used it as a reference in Nursing Education class.Good information in it.

Policy & Politics in Nursing and Healthcare
This was a required text book for my graduate school nursing class on current issues in nursing. Ifound this book to be very readable and full of pertinent information. The only potential downside is the fact that this book can easily become outdated due to changes in legislation. Policy and politics are an everchanging front. I highly reccomend this book. It helps the reader understand how we came to this point in healthcare and how we can be most effective in changing the legislative climate. This book was interesting, I found myself reading beyond the assignment. ... Read more

it really breaks down the difficulties you experience with your text book and helps one be knowledgeable about the critical care clinical rotation.

WARNING
This software is outdated.I couldn't run/install the software on Windows XP, or Mac OS(newer AND older versions of Mac).The tech support number is out of service.The Springnet website is defunct, it redirects you to its parent company, Lippincott.You're better off ordering the book, which I'm sure is a lot of fun, however, I won't know that until my CD-ROM is refunded and I order a copy of the paperback.Caveat Emptor.

BE CAREFUL
I bought this book from Textbook TBS thru Amazon back in March of this year. I didn't have a chance to go thru the book until today and realized that the CD-ROM was missing from the book. I know I should have examed the book when I got it but since the seller has very good rating I trusted that the book would be complete as it was listed as "new", Hopefully Textbook TBS will tell me how to go about obtaining the missing CD-ROM but I don't have much faith in them now.

GREAT for students
I really enjoyed this book, it really made things easy to understand. Only wished there were more questions. I would recommend it to others. Students in my class who did not need to buy this book because they were not taking the advance cardiopulmonary class saw us with this book and they decided to get it! It is great for acute care nursing in final semester.

All "Incredibly Easy! Series are great!
I like all the "Incredibly Easy" books. Explains the entire nursing process and what to do/look out for.

Graduate Nursing Textbook
I ordered this and other textbooks from Amazon at full retail price as one of my textbooks was backordered at the college bookstore.When I received my books, the book "Theoretical Basis for Nursing" was in very poor condition.It came without shrink wrap and is a paperback.It had been placed in a box with the other two hardback texts and packed without any packing material.This allowed the books to slide around during shipping.Even though I took the time to notify Amazon (with pictures) on the condition of the text, I was never contacted about the problem.I see no reason to order texts from Amazon with this lack of customer service and paying full price for a damaged book.I really doubt if I can even sell this book as used once I am finished with the class.

Very unsatisfied
I am in school working toward a Masters degree in Nursing.I ordered this book two weeks before classes began. My classes have begun and "No Book"the program moves very quickly,I have to read 8 chapters for my first exam and I have no book.They simply say "we will notify you when the book will become available".Mean while I have paid $1,500. for this class I am not able to study for.This is not acceptable and from what I hear there are many other students that are in a frenzy for the same reason.I will never try to obtain a book from here again,if they were not obtainable then they should have stated this from the start. Since I haven't even received the book I rate it a 0.

Love this book !!
I retook the teas test on Friday and i did great this time!! Use other books for the science portion tho ! I had to retake it cause i got a 50 the first time and the requirement was a 60 . i used this book and did some reading and some extra work online and got a 97 on reading, 91 on math, 83 on science and 87 on English. This book is very helpful with the Math, Reading and English but not so much the science part but overall am a very happy customer !
Good Luck !!

Fast Delivery
It arrived quick which is great. I got a new one so the condition is great. I haven't had the chance to use it yet though. Amazon keeps hasseling me to write a darn review so here it is.

GREAT BOOK!
I thought the book was great! It is very detailed when it comes to explaining each subject, step by step. This book helped me understand things that I could not understand or learn in the Evolve Reach Assessment Workbook that I purchased. McGraw's book helped me understand the all the science topics that I needed to cover in order to take my Hesi A2 exam.

buy it!!!
Used this to study for the TEAS V, and it helped me refresh all my grammar, reading comprehension and math skills. The science was more helpful than the ATI book. But they were still not enough to get over a 70% in the science. Read anatomy book,s and biology books if your school requires a higher score

Very useful
I was extremely nervous to take the TEAS test but this book did help a lot. Math is defintely not my strong point and this book really helped me through it. The only complaint I have for this book is the science portion. For the TEAS test they asked a lot of earth science questions and this book didnt help with that area. Overall this book was a excellent refresher and I ended up scoring well. ... Read more

Product Description
This text emphasizes understanding over memorization to effectively present the "big picture" through the use of drug prototypes, large and small print, and special foundational chapters that cover principles related to each body system. At the end of each chapter, a summary of major nursing implications also helps you apply the material to real-world situations. The accompanying companion CD-ROM features audio and printable key points that you can download to a CD or MP3 player. The CD-ROM also features 700 NCLEX® examination-style multiple-choice review questions, animations depicting drug mechanisms and effects, flash cards, and numerous electronic calculators.

• UNIQUE! Summaries of Major Nursing Implications at the end of each chapter help you understand how to apply concepts to clinical practice in an easy-to-understand format.
• A prototype drug approach uses one drug within each drug family that characterizes all members of its group to give you the knowledge you need to learn not only about related drugs currently on the market, but also about those drugs that will be released once the student begins practice.
• Uses large print to identify essential "need-to-know" information and small print to identify "nice-to-know" information
• Concise drug summary tables present quick reference to detailed information on individual drugs, including class, generic and trade names, dosages, routes, and indications.
• End-of-chapter Key Points are summarized in a bulleted format to facilitate your review of the most important concepts in each chapter.

Nursing Diagnosis
Nicely expanded version from the small pocket size. This book has extra goal outcomes and rationales. Very helpful in writing careplans.

I regret not buying this book sooner!!
This book was a life saver for me during my Nursing School career!! The nursing diagnosis book my school chose to use was OK, and I found myself having a very hard time properly doing the assignments.A friend of mine had this book, and after reviewing it, I bought it.I must say, it helped me actually understand my assignments.I definitely recommend it to any student as a supplement to whichever Nursing Diagnosis book their school uses. Great book and very very helpful
