Kozier and Erb, as my first year nursing classmates and I lovingly refer to it as, is the best thing that every happened to nursing students.

This books covers all topics that a first year nursing student could dream of needing. Each procedure is listed in a procedure box with step-by-step instructions including preperation and rationale.

The book also includes model care plans for common diseases/conditions. Boxes highlight assessment findings, critical thinking, and nursing diagnoses.

I can't say enough good things about this book! Let me put it this way, if my house were on fire, Kozier and Erb would be the first book I throw out the window!

This was the textbook that I used for my first year in nursing school. It gives complete instructions with pictures and rationale's. It has wonderful little tables that teach you everything from patient teaching to signs and symptoms of diseases. I would highly recommended this book to any nursing student.

The Best Fundamentals of Nursing Text I have seen. Covers every concept with rationale's. Great photographs with complete descriptions. The companion book is a great asset to accompany the text while in the field. Just everything that the Nursing Student needs to know. I am very pleased with text and would highly recommend it to everyone!

While the book is very readable as a whole, I have found a couple of errors with the book's accompanying CD which has practice questions on it. My instructors confirmed that the answers they said were correct were in fact wrong, and it could be proven by the text itself. If you don't care about the CD the book comes with, then you should be fine, but if you're like me and like to test yourself on what you have read, you will be disappointed by the CD. (I am going to write to the editors about those mistakes so hopefully it will be fixed on future editions.)

This is the best damn first-year nursing book in the world. It doesn't get any better than this! This is all you need to read and study to get that 'A' and to become a competent first-year nursing student.

This book provides good explanations for the various processes and procedures of nursing. I really like the additional material such as the CD and the website.

The other students in my class got the next edition, and there are some changes that make this one outdated. However, I am getting by and paid only a fraction for my books of what the other students paid. If you are intellectually resourceful, it may be worth your money to buy this edition used. If you are financially resourceful, it may be worth your time to buy the current edition.

This book was required my first semester of nursing school and I think it was very well thought out and written. I especially loved the tables used throughout the book to help in studying for exams. I hope my school continues to have it on their required book list.

Sorry for my English...

I'm reading it now and I feel that my understanding of nursing is growing from chapter to chapter. I want say thanks for autors of this book for their greate work. After reading I feel safely when I need care for clients in hospital and I just understand what I have to do and why.

The book was used so I didn't expect very much at all other than a usable book, but to my surprise it was in almost perfect condition. the disc that came with it wasn't even opened. It had a few highlighted note in it, but I do that to remember key points anyway so that didn't bother me. Over all I was very happy with the book and the way it arrived.
