Great book for nursing students

I bought this book for a summer school class and ended up actually enjoying it. It's full of up-to-date information about all sorts of nursing issues and is easy to read and well laid out.

Great Service

The book was recieved in time for my class and it was just as stated in new condition. i am very pleased.

Contemporary Nursing Book

The book was exactly as described and the shipping was quick (I took the slowest way and they still got it out fast). What I wanted was a quick reference to all the body systems that could be in a "small" book. If you are in medicine you understand that... After a couple of semesters we all have one arm that is overdeveloped from carrying those massive text books...ha It's a good resourse

excellent book for my current course

Well written, information clear and easy to access. A really good choice of book for my current course
