A Survival Guide!,
By Mommy, RN (Burlington, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing, 2e (Hardcover)
This was a fantastic book! I call it the "Cliff Notes" version of the textbook. If you're having trouble with the amount of assigned readings in your textbook, I highly recommend you get this book. My whole class is jealous that I got this book because they had to wait months for their copies.

cliff's notes for the textbook,
This review is from: Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing, 7e (Clinical Companion (Elsevier)) (Paperback)
Excellent for when you need the information and don't want to read an entire chapter to find it out. I call it the Cliff's note's version of the textbook. All major diagnosises are included, their etiologies, assessments, diagnostics, and treatments. Useful in clinical.
