Compact, easy to navigate, must-have resource for any PNP student. I use it every day during my clinicals and use it for every case study I have to write. It has well child care for every age, anticipatory guidance for every age, immunization schedules, common diagnoses with plans, and is written by MA RNs and NPs!

This review is from: Manual of Ambulatory Pediatrics (Spiral Manual Series) (Spiral-bound)

the content is good, easy to read. i liked the fact that it's a paperback, easy to carry, and somewhat light but i found the wirebinding to keep snagging on different things in my bag. overall, a good resource to have.

This books is a wast of money. I bought it for my nursing class but did not use it because we already had other textbooks that covered more materilas as compared with this book.
