3.0 out of 5 stars First disappointment on made incredibly easy book., April 16, 2006

This review is from: Psychiatric Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series) (Paperback)

I'm a fan of made incredibly easy nursing book series. So far they provided me with great resources to help me study for my classes. However, I find this book below standard comparing with the other incredibly easy books. In psychiatric nursing, we focused more on client-nurse relationship and communication, and this book failed to accomodate that section which was the essential and core parts of psychiatric nursing. Your best bet is to stick to your textbook and don't bother buying this guide book. It only focuses on medication. Authors, this is not a medical surgical guide book; it is a psychiatric nursing guide book. Please remember that!

This review is from: Psychiatric Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series) (Paperback)

I purchased this book when we hired a secretary at my job in mental health who had no real mental health experience. It helped me to help her understand the whole field without scaring her or overwhelming her. I have since left that job and use this book for the case managers when they have questions on our clients diagnosis. The case managers also use this book for patient teaching as it's written in language everyone can understand. I recommend this book wholeheartedly for anyone who is looking for plain english Psych information.
