  - A couple good things in it.I recently started using this textbook I found a couple of good chapters in it especially over F&E. Rating:  - Good Book for Understanding TermsThis book helped to break down some of the concepts that seemed so difficult in class. I suggest that you get this book before entering nursing school. It helps you understand the type of learning environment you will be learning in and what to expect from the staff, the students, and most of all the hospital setting. It is an easy read and you will soon find yourself recommending this book to all of your classmates. Rating: - A Must HaveThis is a great book and a Must-have for any nursing student that truly wants to excel in class and on exams. It really helped me to understand some difficult concepts, such as ABG's. It explained concepts in such a way that you weren't simply memorizing facts, but lying a foundation of understanding to carry on throughout more complex classes. I'm glad that I spent the extra money to purchase this book early in my nursing school education. Rating:  - not worth buyingthis is book is not very good. It tells you vaguely some nursing concepts, but not enough to help explain 'difficult concepts' I wish i hadn't wasted my money on this book. Rating: - A Must Buy for All Nursing StudentsThis is an extremely informative book packed with valuable information. I can't say enough good things about this book! It covers more than just nursing, however. The first section is entitled "You Too Can Get Through Nursing School." Chapters here include: Study and Test-Taking Skills, Papers, Computers, Texts, Faculty Variability, Asssertiveness, Professional Possibilities, Legal Considerations, and Risk Management. This section covers the basics of getting you through school. The study tips chapter was especially useful to me. Other sections include "Universal Issues That You Will Encounter Wherever You Go," (which includes Culture, Stress, Pain, Rehabilitation, etc); "Concepts That Are Difficult to Understand," (which incudes ABGs, Endocrine, Drug Calculations, ECG, etc); "Content You Needs To Know," (which has just 3 chapters: Critical Thinking, Research, and Theory); "How to Get Your Point Across," (which includes Communicaiton, Documentation, and Nursing Process); and a final section entitled "How to Access Information Via the Internet and Beyond." I highly recommend this book to you. It is a wonderful resource as it explains hard concepts AND teaches you study skills, how to get along with others, and so much more! |
