I have just completed a course in Basic Nursing using Potter and Perry's Basic Nursing : Essentials for Practice and used the suggested study guide by Castaldi. I would inform you that we (our class) discovered errors on numerous occassions in the study guide text that need to be addressed/corrected by the author. These primarily pertained to answers for some of the practice questions. The instructors at our school contacted the publisher and were told that they were aware of the situation and attempted to help by posting the corrections on a website. However, this didn't happen before we completed the course. On a positive note I would say that aside from some frustrations I found the study guide to be quite helpful with my studies.

This textbook was necessary for my first nursing semester. Nothing could have been worse than start with this book. It has long, lengthy, wordy chapters about nothing. And what was the most devastating for me is that it gives you discordant information, probably taken from different sources meaning authors didn't even bother to put the given data all together. I end up buying another book that our school used couple of years before in the first semester (Saunders: Fundamentals of Nursing) which worked perfect for me.

I was Very pleased with this purchase. The book arrived sooner than I expected and was in excellent condition. I have no complaints about the porduct nor the company.

I ordered this book for class, it came in very fast, and it is in great condition for a used book.

RECEIVED EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. VERY PLEASED. WILL DEFINITELY DEAL WITH THE SELLER AGAIN IF OTHER NEEDED PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE.
