A very good book
I bought this book for my Pharmacology class. I liked it. It seems very helpfull. It is also very easy to follow.

Hate Math you'll love this book!
I am in my first semester of nursing and this is our "required" math book.I have to be 100% honest and tell you that this book is the greatest thing since apple pie.If I can understand this book, and I'm no math wiz, you'll be pleased and surprised with your newmath abilities. I certainly am!

Poorly Written
90% of the bulk content is unnecessary; very poor quality.Short on substance; very long winded.This is not a science textbook, but a verbose chat.NOT recommended.

Too much information and lost in translation
Although it is good being exhaustive, but it fails to deliver.

great reference
I am a LPN Staff Development Coordinator for a Subacute LTC facility. Although the title is RNotes, I use this book freqently. It is a good clinical reference for myself and my staff. I felt this would cover more information then the LPNotes, therefore it is the reason for my purchase. It would be great for nursing students, clinical nurses or for Staff Development Coordinators who are suposed to know everything! Enjoy

The Second Edition Is Now Available
This is an updated review for Rnotes 2nd Edition. I had previously posted a review for the 1st Edition, and somehow it ended up in the 2nd Edition's review section as well. Nonetheless, here's what you'll find inside the new edition that you wont find in the first edition (copied straight from FA Davis' website):
essential for first year nursing
This flipbook is perfect for first year nurses because it presents valuable information in a easy to flip, erasable pad. The book has everything from lab values, CPR techniques, assessment data, insulin regimens, tables of meds that counteract each other, and I/O figures for measurement. I used this book a lot for labs during nursing school and liked flipping through to remember basics that would slip my mind. Its a great present for any nursing student or first year graduate. The book includes all ages from babies to the elderly, and presents infomation for all types of nursing. Its a great book also because pen marks wipe away by rubbing it off with alcohol (which is in every RN's pocket). The Rnotes also have other makes that are more specific but this is great because it encompasses a wide range of topics. ... Read more

Lots of questions!
My weakness in regards to test taking as a current nursing student was choosing the correct answer to a question about "top priority" or the "most important" interventions or assessments.I decided to purchase this inclex book to enhance my critical thinking skills and I'm SO glad that I did.Many of the questions pertain to "priority" type questions and by practicing them, my weakness in that aspect has made a complete u turn.I went from an average of 76% on tests to a 90% on my last one.So, this book is also a good addition to utilize during the semester, not ONLY for studying for the inclex.

LOVE THIS BOOK
This book is awesome. Loved it! It has the rationales on the same page as the questions. The chapters are split up by topic. They have hints beside and within the question so you know what to look for. It covers all the nursing topics in school. I just wish there were more questions.

THE BEST PRACTICE TO PASS!
When I studied for the NCLEX, this was the most effective book to use because practice practice practice is the best thing to do.With so many questions, separated by subject, you can work on your weak areas and always be learning from it.It's one thing to learn the material from an excerpt in a textbook, but this really tests your APPLIED knowledge.I used this with the NCLEX Review made incredibly easy and it was the best combination for steady studying.Good luck!This book was so helpful! ...

It's not a great book
I had this book for my community health textbook. Comparing with other textbook, this book is really hard to understand. The author is trying hard enough to sound like a great researcher using jargons and difficult words to impress the public. As a student nurse, I would be much happier with a textbook that explains everything in laymans term. It's hard enough for us to understand the concept without those fancy words. A note for the authors, we like simple textbook not a complicated one. A complicated book is not necessarily a good book. In my opinion other textbooks are way better than this one. ... Read more

Easy to follow and understand for the NRP novice
Studying for my renewal for NRP proved to be as easy as the initial class with the cd-rom. I have extremely limited contact with this pt. population, but I am able to easily recall the information attained through this text/multimedia. Although nothing substitutes actual "hands-on," instruction or experience, this will provide a valuable asset for the ACLS/PALS impaired.

has its ups and downs
The book has absolutely everything you need to know word-for-word to get certified in NALS. It comes from more of a nursing perspective so little details like how to operate the jackson-reiss and anatomy of the airway will be extremely redunant for respiratory therapists.

Pricey
This is an expensive book, however a good resource to keep on hand. This book is set up as an outline.This is not a detailed text covering all the ins and outs of pathophysiology on the cellular level. It does cover pathophysiology but set up in an outline form, not a standard textbook. Easy to read and grasp information.

Cost effective
This book can be found cheaper at the AACN web site.

Excellent resource for critical care nursing
The Core Curriculum for Critical Care Nursing is a concise, thoroughreview of each body system.Each major chapter not only outlines athorough review of A&P, it also goes into common disease states withineach system and even discusses nursing concerns with each disease.I haveused this book for several years personally, and my director has one in theICU for a resource at work.I highly recommend this book. ...

Goal Achieved!
A Case Manager's Study Guide: Preparing for Certification works well for the motivated self learner. The information contained in the book is thorough and concise. I felt prepared for the test after I completed my studies. The test questions, with the added benefit of having them on a CD-ROM, provide the learner with an excellent opportunity to prepare for the certification test environment, especially if you have test anxiety! I just received notice that I met the qualifications and passed the examination to be qualified as a Certified Case Manager(CCM). ... Read more

Quickly settles disputes, answers questions, a "MUST" for all home care nurses & their management teams !!!!
I have the 4th edition (at this time is the most recent edition in print) and as a psych home care nurse, this little, portable wealth of knowledge has helped me validate to management, as well as to public health and other surveyors, the range in situations that qualify "homebound status" for psychiatric patients.Throughout the book there are samples provided to support a variety of situations that help the nurse better understand, and therefore more accurately report, on each sector of the OASIS forms.Medicare regulations are explained in detail, and I learned information that I had not known in the 14 years I have been doing mental health home care nursing.The manual provides a history and background of homecare, its evolution, provides an overview of documentaion, including the importance of coding, and its significance in home care.Also, valuable tips on improving the nursing visit, setting achievable goals, managing the case, and the guidelines for care for all the home care disciplines, are provided, so the nurse can be knowledgable regarding the roles of the other disciplines.There is a great resource section at the end of the book, and home care definitions, roles, and abbreviations are delineated in this manual as well.All home care codes are listed.

i had the early verison and used it for making my care plan. the content is now updated and still valuable.

Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests
Excellent review for Health Care Professionals.
Great reference
I'm a nursing student and used this book for my first clinical rotation.It is an excellent resource as it is easy to use and not only defines the tests themselves but also gives clear concise reasons for high or low values.It was a great investment for me as a student.

mostly comprehensive
Most any type of test or procedure are listed in this book but there were a few tests that I couldn't find.I am not sure if I didn't look in the right area but alphabetical is alphabetical.Overall, very good info on what the test is for and what can influence it, etc. Recommended. ... Read more

Better than nothing-- but buy it "used"
This book was written to help you prepare for the LPN pre-entrance exam, and is divided into Math, Vocabulary, and Science sections.There are plenty of practice questions for each section as well as 3 complete practice tests.Answers are explained.The reviews are very basic and assume you already have a strong background in Math/Science.You may have to supplement the review with other material, as I did, say, for Biology.

The Case Management Bible
I am not a case manager, however I work with them on a regular basis. I have found this book extremely helpful in understanding the field, theimpact case management can and does have on the health care deliveryprocess, and how it helps improve outcomes and contain costs, especially incritical and chronic care cases. This book is an invaluable tool for casemanagers and anyone who requires proven, nuts and bolts information on theprocess of case management and the role of case managers in health care.Lots of basic, hands-on, how-to information.

a must for pathology resident
This book is a survivor kit for pathology residents and foreign pathologist trying to start it over again in literate pathology English. Just open it next to your grossing bench (not on, please) and start your "no rubbish" dictation of the specimen.
Great book to relieve the residency anxiety!
I found this book greatly helpful. It saved me in the beginning of my pathology residency! It relieved my residency anxiety. I think this book is indispensible for pathology residents. It helps you to learn specimen grossing. The table of the special stains is great. You may never find such a table in another book.

An excellent practical guide to pathology
This text provides an excellent practical guide to pathologic dissection and case submission.The pointers on tumor staging and important items for the final diagnosis of specimens helps one prepare the final case report.An excellent guide for pathology residents, pathology assistants, and pathologists alike. ...
