For any nursing students struggling with the vocabulary of medicine, these will be very helpful for you. These cards are very well designed. They can be organized by body system, abbreviation, combining form, suffix, prefix, or any other combination that you may find helpful. They are numbered, color coded, and have easy to understand drawings and photographs. They also have holes punched through them and come with two rings, for portability and studying on the run, as most of us do.

The box that they arrive in says that they are fun, effective, and portable. I fully agree that they are effective. These work as long as you work at it on a regular basis. Are they portable? It depends on your perspective. The box is very heavy if you plan on carting the whole set around at once. It is easier to just take out what you need and leave the rest at home. I certainly would not categorize these as fun, though.

I am very pleased with the set of flashcards that I ordered. I enrolled in 2 medical classes one medical termonology which turned out to be quite challenging with covering a chapter a week lots of exercise, letcture. It was suggested that we purchase a dictionary at the local bookstore so I did. While I was there I noticed that flashcards were available in different price range and by different authors. I decided then to go on Amazon and get a used set.

This has been a very good investment as I have used the flashcards daily and I have aced every quiz and the mid term!

Thank you and I give you a very good high rating!
