5.0 out of 5 stars
The definitive pediatric nursing textbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Whaley & Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children (Book with CD-Rom for Windows & Macintosh) (Hardcover)
The 6th edition of this textbook is the best ever. Wong as usual provides the latest research with every topic covered. The color-coded chapters make it easy to use. The CD-ROM is very useful as a study aid and to view clips of nursing procedures. Highly recommended for nursing students and practicing pediatric nurses.

7th Edition worth its weight in gold,
This review is from: Whaley & Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children (Book with CD-Rom for Windows & Macintosh) (Hardcover)
Whaley and Wongs updated bible for paediatric nurses is essential reading now it has gone in to its seventh edition, Those who had the 1995 version will already be familiar with the fully comprehensive care plans and evidence based practice rigorously detailed within the book, but 2002's new edition not only updates knowledge but also improves clarity using excellent illustrations, and also includes an entire new chapter regarding community care- an issue at the forefront of modern nursing. This is a core text for all students and qualified nurses alike.

This review is from: Whaley & Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children (Book with CD-Rom for Windows & Macintosh) (Hardcover)
I have a hard time reading some books that are required in nursing school. However this book is exceptional! I loved this reader friendly textbook. It is very easy to understand. I wish more of my books were like this one. Thank you Donna Wong.
