5.0 out of 5 stars It's great for nursing students!, May 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing: Concepts of Care (Hardcover)

Being a recent nursing student I have to say I really liked this book. Mary C. Townsend did an excelllent job breaking down the material. It contains nursing diagnosis, chapter summaries,case studies and chapter reviews. It included every aspect of information that made paperwork, careplans, clinical prep-work and studying a bit easier. I would reccomend this book to any nursing student especially if this may be your future field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but..., February 8, 2009

Sleepy "Mo" (Joisey City, NJ) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing: Concepts of Care in Evidence-Based Practice [With CDROM] (Hardcover)

I've checked out the newer edition, and the major change is the company shuffling around their chapters. As an example, even the chapter review questions are the same! Don't buy the other edition.
