5.0 out of 5 stars A Survival Guide!, May 2, 2001

By	Mommy, RN (Burlington, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars cliff's notes for the textbook, March 18, 2008

By	M. McGowan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing (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.
