An invaluable tool,

This review is from: Handbook for Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing (Paperback)
This little powerhouse helped me make it through nursing school! It's a GREAT resource! Its 673 pages are packed with every conceivable disorder and/or disease with methods of diagnosis, diagnostic tests, medications for treatment followed with a full nursing process from assessment through management and outcomes. I used this book to write many, many care plans & carried it back and forth from classes to clinical to home -- it's a very portable, invaluable tool -- I wouldn't have survived nursing school without it.

Great Resource,
By PaganDeva2000 "pagandeva2000" (Queens, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook to Accompany Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing (Paperback)
I carry this with me to clinical rotations and have used it for case studies. One of the downfalls is that not each disease is covered as it claims, and had to seek elsewhere for pertinent information. Other than that, it is great to have, and better than the text, which has more information than what is really necessary.

This review is from: Handbook to Accompany Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing (Paperback)
I am using this in my nursing program, it's a very condensed version of the garganuta Med/Surg book, great on the floor for quick reference.
