5.0 out of 5 stars The "Mother Of All Med-Surg Texbooks"....?, June 8, 2007

Too many students make it through nursing school by studying "class lecture notes". Fine, you can pass the "tests" and graduate. But, the real world awaits, and if you have a minimal background in pathophysiology, or squeaked your way through nursing school (by studying notes) you're gonna be in for a rude awakening... Well, I read my "Iggy" textbook. This text is great. Made the tests seem pretty easy, and helped me in clinical! It helped me build a strong foundation in understanding of disease and the related nursing interventions. Love the book. I feel more prepared thanks to this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive and confusing, July 7, 2007

This review is from: Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking for Collaborative Care (Hardcover)

Out of the many textbooks I have had to utilize in the past few years this is my least favorite. I find that the material is quite repetitive. Yet, not in the way that causes the information to stick. It is repetitive in a very confusing way. Rather than the material supporting itself I find it often contradictory. I think this book would be better served to teach in a more condensed, clear manner.

This book is unnecessarily wordy. It uses a lot of abbreviations and I found myself having to stop often to look up words and abbreviations in my Tabers.
