This review is from: Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Nursing Care (Hardcover)

Okay, maybe it's just because our nursing director helped write the book, but we all love it. The questions at the end of chapter are theory based questions that are very similar to the NCLEX. Our school has a 98% pass rate on the NCLEX and we owe a lot of it to the practice in answering questions in this book and the study guide for this book. I would highly recommend this book even if you don't need it for your school. At least get it from the library for the questions.

2.0 out of 5 stars required text for nursing class, December 20, 2001

By 

Heather Anderson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Nursing Care (Hardcover)

The information in the book is scattered throughout, making studying difficult. Critical thinking was not encouraged and nursing diagnosis was not included in each discussion area.I would not recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required text for New Zealand Nursing school, April 11, 2001

By 

Kate (Nelson, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Nursing Care (Hardcover)

This book was actually a required text for my course. So far I am finding it really helpful in learning the basics of nursing such as taking Blood Pressures. However, as I am from New Zealand and the book is published in America, some of the terminology is different. Also, the illustrations in the book are old and are the same ones that were used in earlier editions - I felt as if more modern illustrations could have been included although the illustrations serve their purpose. Overall, a fairly good book.
