4.0 out of 5 stars What a Load!, July 4, 2007

This review is from: Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 11th Edition (2 Volumes in 1) (Hardcover)

This book has a great format...well written and easy to understand. There are some great focusing tips at the end of each chapter such as "Critical Thinking" and many up to date charts that instructors love! I give this book a 4 because of the weight...it is really hard to carry from class to class. One might want to buy this book as two...they're selling them this way now.

This review is from: Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

I am a first year second semester nursing student and I had initially bought this text in the one volume form. When I found the same text in 2 volume form, I quickly put an order in and returned the initial buy......AND I am soooo happy i did!!!! It is much better to carry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Med/Surg Text Review, August 27, 2007

This review is from: Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 11th Edition (2 Volumes in 1) (Hardcover)

This is a very thorough text for nursing students and nurses who want to keep up with the latest changes in this field. It is one I will keep for my career. However, its usefulness is limited because it is so heavy, I need a llama to carry it. I end up using other references because they are easier to keep on hand when I am writing papers, etc. more than 10 feet away from the book, which is usually always.
