A Must Have

This is a great book and a Must-have for any nursing student that truly wants to excel in class and on exams. It really helped me to understand some difficult concepts, such as ABG's. It explained concepts in such a way that you weren't simply memorizing facts, but lying a foundation of understanding to carry on throughout more complex classes. I'm glad that I spent the extra money to purchase this book early in my nursing school education.

A Must Buy for All Nursing Students

This is an extremely informative book packed with valuable information. I can't say enough good things about this book! It covers more than just nursing, however. The first section is entitled "You Too Can Get Through Nursing School." Chapters here include: Study and Test-Taking Skills, Papers, Computers, Texts, Faculty Variability, Asssertiveness, Professional Possibilities, Legal Considerations, and Risk Management. This section covers the basics of getting you through school. The study tips chapter was especially useful to me. Other sections include "Universal Issues That You Will Encounter Wherever You Go," (which includes Culture, Stress, Pain, Rehabilitation, etc); "Concepts That Are Difficult to Understand," (which incudes ABGs, Endocrine, Drug Calculations, ECG, etc); "Content You Needs To Know," (which has just 3 chapters: Critical Thinking, Research, and Theory); "How to Get Your Point Across," (which includes Communicaiton, Documentation, and Nursing Process); and a final section entitled "How to Access Information Via the Internet and Beyond." I highly recommend this book to you. It is a wonderful resource as it explains hard concepts AND teaches you study skills, how to get along with others, and so much more!

EXCELLENT

This book is truly excellent. It gives lots of information & tips on how to handle nursing school. I definitely recomend this book to anyone who is beginning nursing school. It contains conversions, time management skills.. and much more!!

Excellent Book

I just graduated from nursing school and the best book I had during school is this one. This was the only book that truly "spoke" to me about the realities of nursing school and I used it in all my courses. I plan to keep it handy because I know I am going to forget some of the information I learned about EKG's, Fluid & Electrolytes and some of the other things I may not use every day.These authors made me feel like they were talking to me, not at me and I enjoyed reading the information that they had to share. I also appreciated the numerous "short cuts" that I learned. The cartoon-like figures were always good for a chuckle and the examples in the book really fit my life. I highly recommend this book to anyone in nursing school no matter what level you are. Good luck! Keep studying! It's worth it!

Great book

This is the best book ever! I have used it since my first day in nursing school and I am amazed by how much helpful information fits into such a small book! I love the information about how to get along with faculty and also write papers, study, take tests, etc. Everything I've read I've been able to use. The section on the internet is fantastic and I've been able to use the links to find information for my patients and for those nasty care plans! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is in nursing school and anyone who plans to go to nursing school. I plan to keep mine after I graduate because I know I'll be referring to it when I'm working. If you are struggling in nursing school, get this book! It will help!
