Great Book for Students, But.......
This is very nice for Nursing students (I am a student so I can't say if an RN working would like it or not) but.....if you buy the Med/Surg book from this company, a CD comes with it and the CD contains the info in this book. My suggestion, if you need both, would be to get the Med/Surg book.

Also, the edition comes with a Disk not a CD and it is not as nice as the CD. ... Read more

Couldn't do clinicals without it!
I love this book. A lot of my fellow 2nd year nursing students bought it after they saw mine. My only complaint is that there is only pathology; no wellness or risk for diagnoses, like ineffective breastfeeding; it is only by diagnosis. It has come in very helpfully for care plans. ... Read more

A dry textbook- not meant for mothers.
I bought this book searching for information on breastfeeding my premature infant. Most breastfeeding books only devote a paragraph, or at most a few pages, to this topic. I was excited to find a whole book on the topic, but sadly disappointed when it arrived, as the book is clearly meant as a textbook for NICU nurses. It provides information on topics in list form, referring to the patient and parents as third-party participants. It uses medical terms and offers very brief descriptions of techniques. I was looking for practical advice, but this wasn't it. ... Read more

What a great way to prepare for the FNP Exam
My friends and I used Health Leadership's Family Nurse Practitioner Study Question book set which included the ANP, PNP, and WH books. And they were right on target. We felt we were really prepared for the exam when we went to take it. We walked out feeling great!!!!!!!!!Plus the price is excellent. Three (3) books for $70.00 what a great deal. We highly recommend Health Leaderships FNP Study Question Books to get ready for the exam. Go for it.

Thanks HLA for a great prep.

Maternal-Neonatal Nursing (Bood edition)
Excellent books for reference. I used this book to review for the test and I got "A" for this subject. I recommend this book for the new nursing students.

GREAT PRODUCT for class prep too
The previous reviewer was disappointed in the product, but they are not using it for its full potential. Springhouse just put out the Maternal Neonatal Incredibly Easy book and that's what the previous reviewer should have purchased if they wanted supplemental info for classroom work (gee, didn't they notice the description said it was a CD-ROM?!). This product is EXCELLENT not only for those students getting ready for HESI and NCLEX, but it IS an asset to those going through their nursing coursework. The product has 1000 questions catagorized within the major units of the subject of maternal and neonatal nursing. Students can access those subtopics pertaining to the material they are going over in class to use as a study aid when preparing for classroom tests. I am using the Phamacology book and CD-ROM to help me survive through Pharm this semester. What an asset! The Incredibly Easy series (books AND test question CD-ROMs) are great helps to get you through nursing school.

This is not a book!
If you are a expecting a book with information this is not the product for you. However, if you are expecting a disc with many NCLEX style questions this product could be useful. I was wanting a review type book to augment my maternal-neonatal nursing class. I plan on keeping this product for future NCLEX review but it is not helpful for the typical student. ... Read more

Wong & Whaley's Clinical Manual Pediatric Nursing + Pediatri
Books by this author are long winded. You need to read page after page before they get to the point. Sorry, nursing students, this one is expensive mainly because they must get paid by the word:(

NANDA based paediatric care a great resource
Buy this book if you want to write better care plans, whether you're a student or qualified nurse. I've recommended this text to my ward and find it to be a key resource full of model care plans (which thankfully employ NANDA approved diagnoses). ... Read more
