5.0 out of 5 stars worth the investment!!!, June 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Medical-Surgical Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh) (CD-ROM)

I hate reading dry textbooks. We were required to read Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing book which is huge, heavy and has a tiny font. I tried but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I purchased this cd-rom and studied all the questions by categorized system which corresponded to whatever topic we were studying at the time in class. It hits the highlights you are expected to know. The answers to the questions asked are immediate as you go through the system of your choice (ex: integumentary, respiratory, gastro, hematologic, endocrine, cardio, fundamentals, & assessment)with well written rationales to help you learn as you "test". Bottom line, I studied these questions exclusively for my first semester of med surg and made an A and it was nearly fun! :) Am using it to retain my knowledge of med surg during the summer and to build on new information for med surg part 2 in the fall! VERY worth it to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, but it will do, January 3, 2006

This review is from: Medical-Surgical Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series) (Paperback)

For those who have never utilized the Incrediby Easy series, these books are great for review or to help make concepts less confusing, but are still *no replacement* for your textbook! :)

I purchased this a a quick reference - something to use to review key points for my Med-Surg classes. I found that the information, though all there, was difficult to muddle through. Cartoons of pills and organs smiling and giving helpful hints did nothing for me! My edition did not come with a CD either, so If you really do want this book please check this before you purchase.

If you are looking for a good Med-Surg book to help with reviews, I would highly recommend "Straight A's in Medical Surgical Nursing", ISBN 1582552843 by the same publisher. The information is almost exactly the same, and is easier to read because of a user-friendly layout. (Also comes with a CD, and costs about $10.00 less!)

I Love the CD a lot! I play with it each day like games. It's fun and provide hint and immediate feedback to your answer. I've learned a lot of info in there that weren't covered in text. A Plus for any nursing students to have.
