Customer Reviews

very satisfied.

Very satisfied. Order arrived quickly. Item was as described. Best price around at the time of purchase. I will recommend this seller for others and I will buy again. Thank you.

Very helpful

This is very helpful in the clinical setting when writing the treatment plan. Well organized.

What I was looking for.

The book is exactly what I was looking for. It was also nice that it shipped very quickly.

Comprehensive, lots more interventions than earlier publications.

This resource text has been invaluable during my clinical experience as a student nurse. Include pediatric and geriatric interventions and many more interventions than earlier publications. Great!

A must-have reference for nursing clinicals!

I already had the "larger" Ackley's when we were told this was a required book. I was skeptical that it would be more helpful than the large version, but it is so quick and handy, not to mention that you can tote it in a lab coat pocket or your purse. It's like "Cliff's Notes" to nursing diagnoses and care plans. I highly recommend it.
