Review / Core text book for Psychiatry,
By Diverse Diva "Div" (Global Citizen) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NMS Psychiatry (National Medical Series for Independent Study) (Paperback)
This is great core text for your Psychiatry Clerkship. It also covers a lot of information that is useful for your Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics and Geriatrics clerkships.This book is easy to read and provides good explanations so that you are not forced to memorize random facts or mnemonics that do not make sense(as some of my classmates have commented about other Psychiatry review books), and every chapter ends with 5 - 15 practice questions. This book is published by LWW, so you will have on-line access to the e-book and do not have to carry it around with you. The only drawbacks are the price, and that it may require a significant time commitment to read the book cover to cover depending on how fast you read.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for review - from a nurse practitioner viewpoint,
By Nurse Kristine (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NMS Psychiatry (National Medical Series for Independent Study) (Paperback)
Not an NP review book, but very relevant. Laid out as a study guide. Concise but detailed. Includes child psychiatry section.Questions and answers at end of each section. It's written for psychiatry interns; you will need to use another review source to study nursing theory. For $3.50 used, this is a bargain. I give this 5/5.
