I'm in the middle of doing my RN recertification through a home-study course, using this textbook. It's so good I had to drop everything and see if Amazon had it. Most nursing texts are so badly written and so thoughtlessly edited that trying to get information out of them is horribly frustrating. I'm not having any trouble getting the information I'm looking for (the answers to my Scantron questions) - and not only that, but I find myself actually reading the text because it's so interesting! It's a case studies format, as the title suggests, and the studies are fascinating - everything from hypothermia to testicular torsion is covered - and seemingly very realistic, as absorbing as real ER work. And, once again, unlike most nursing texts, where the writer seems to just throw in chunks of undigested factoids from the half-dozen reference books she just happened to find at the medical library, this book follows a logical progression. It anticipates and answers your questions as they come into your mind. And everything presented is pertinent, none of this "a thousand words where one will do" stuff you usually get from our buy-them-by-the-pound nursing texts.
