Very comprehensive
This book is very comprehensive, interesting and is one of the best on the market (I bought four nursing school entrance exam preparation books ). Reading about science was never boring. I would definitely recommend it.

Book is only okay
I bought this book to review for the NET but it is clearly designed to encorporate material for other entrance tests.

Nursing Theorists and Their Work
I thought the book's content was excellent. I found it easy to follow and it has been an excellent reference book for my nursing class.

It was required
Only used it because it was required. Good info I guess, would not just sit down and read it. Helped with school project.

Dry as can be
If I knew that this kind of reading was in store, I would not have returned to school.Can't someone make this topic exciting to read about? Not these authors. Maybe no one can make nursing theory exciting. Maybe there is a reason. ... Read more

Solid Book
The title may just be a great attention getter but this really is one of the better NCLEX prep books. Buy this and and maybe another prep book with good rating and you are on your way to passing the NCLEX!

Guidance for studying
I bought this book to help study for 1st year RN, and it has been very helpfull!

The Best of the Books...
I just found out I passed my boards today! I initially bought the NSNA book, but found it was just too much. Seemed like it went too far into reviewing the systems, rather than focusing on the nursing process and prioritization. I borrowed this book from a friend, and let me tell you, I am so glad I did. This is the book you need to pass your boards! It is a quick read, hits all the high points, and throws a lot about the nursing process in as well. As a new RN, I highly RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! ...

just not too impressed, theres better out there
I was given this book by a friend who had finished nursing school yrs before I started. This book has good information but was blah and wordy @ much of the time. I like to know the important stuff so it stays with me and be on my merry sweet little way and this is not the book for those like me. I used the Lippincott Rn review while in school (good book) but lost it in Hurricane Katrina so for the NCLEX I bought the NSNA RN review book and Frye's 3000 nursing bullets and passed the 1st time with confidenece. I took the exam on January 23rd 2006 and started studying Dec 29th 2005 and get this --finished nursing school in May 2005.I stand behind those books and think they are great choices to consider, but more importantly always feel comfortable with your NCLEX review book or switch it.

NOT the greatest review book
This book was the first I purchased during my last semester of nursing school to begin my studies for the NCLEX-RN exam.However I was quite overwhelmed and disappointed at the way the book was set up.The chapters were too tedious and the question section that followed were too much.If you like questions and you like details this book is for you.But I would suggest the Saunder's Comprehensive Review book which I used as the basis for my NCLEX-RN studies and passed on my first try.

Buyer Beware!!
I bought this book, along with four others shortly before graduating nursing school and began my NCLEX study intensively with this book specifically. I wish I had started another one instead-since I am inclined to finish what I started and getting through this one is killing me. I would not recommend this book to my worst enemy. The situations are very well defined but the answer choices are vague. I found many, many contradictions in the rationale portion of the tests and plenty of typographical errors in which the correct/incorrect answer numbers were transposed in the rationale section (3 times within 200 questions at one point). One question gives the situation that a young patient awakes after being unconsious due to a car accident and has had an above the knee amputation while he was out cold. He asks what happened- what do you tell him: 1) what do you think happened? 2) you were in an accident 3) you lost your leg in an accident 4)You sound concerned; you'll remember more as you wake up.Okay--I chose number one (first step in the nursing process is to assess, right?) The book says that the correct answer is number three because it addresses the man's question honestly; the book also says that number two isn't the right answer because it is too blunt. Gee, and number three isn't blunt? I'd call it a slap in the face if anything. This type of thing is found throughout the book from beginning to end. Don't buy this book, it won't do anything for you but get your temper fired up. ... Read more

Excellent Pharmacology Textbook
This textbook does an excellent job in explaining the physiology, drug actions, adverse effects, etc. Students will have a good understanding of how drugs work after using this textbook. The physiology in this book is a plus. It explains very well receptors such as the adrenergic, cholinergic, and opiate receptors. All new drugs are included in this book. This book is a number one for all nursing and college level pharmacology courses.

Unpretentious, concise and highly informative.
I have read a lot of drug books in the course of my nursing (RN) education and this book helped me understand Pharmacology. The author, Lehne, is very concise in his presentation of pathophysiology and pharmacology i.e., mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, interactions, etc. One thing that sets this book apart from the other drug books is the extensive but concise explanation of nursing implications related to each drug. At the end of each chapter, the author lists a summary of Major Nursing Implications which is very helpful and indispensable to students and practicing nurses.

A Truly Outstanding Text
Lehne would win the favorite textbook award by acclamation at my nursing school.The text is clear, concise and incredibly well written.The author reviews relevent physiology, lays out the classes of drugs and explains how each works, usually by examining a prototypical drug in each class followed by briefer reviews of other similar drugs.Each chapter ends with a "Key Points" section which is probably the best chapter summary I have ever seen in a text.Then, a "Summary of Major Nursing Implications" puts it all into clinical practice.

Family Nursing Research
Required text for a family dynamics course I took.Excellent, informative and easy to read.Good text to have.

So-So Text
As an RN with 28 years experience, I was disappointed with the quality of Ms. Friedman's writing. She is overly repetitive with descriptive materials, tends to ramble on, uses slang terms occassionally, and reveals personal bias.There is no place in nursing for unprofessional terms or bias against groups based on religious differences or lack of religious orientation.Positive qualities of this book include adaptation stategies for use in applying nursing theories to families and making appropriate NANDA diagnoses.The Friedman Model is included and well illustrated. Several tables are included and are helpful to clarify wordy text.

Drink More Coffee!
I am a fourth year BSN student.This book was our assigned text for our family class. I felt the book was to wordy on explanations. Points were not clearly established. They were merely tossed around comparing and contrasting one research study versus another. I would get so lost in thetheoretical views from numerous positions that I would literally fallasleep reading this book. Surely, there is a more palatable undergraduatebook on family theory? ...

As a first-time buyer from Amazon.com, I was very impressed and happy with the service. Manual of Laboratory/Diagnostic Test was in good shape, excellent condition. I receive this book within 7 days. I will continue to do business with Amazon.com

A USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE

It covered all the important aspects of investigative medicine like: microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, pathology, haematology and histology.

Much Improved Fifth Edition.
Any book of thys type that has gone through five editions has to have something going for it, and This book has many. Perhaps the most important is the writing style which is as light and casual as it can be considering the subject. The goal is, of course, to prepare the student for a career. The book combined instructional material with case histories that illustrate how a particular case, situation, or patient was successfully handled. Each chapter starts with a page entitles 'A Nurse Speaks.' Here practicing nurses relate some of their history

Excellent Resource
This book takes electrophysiology and breaks it down into manageable bites. I first bought this book when I took ACLS as a new grad and was scared to death of having to differentiate between Mobitz 1 and 2, etc...I also like using it with patients for the illustrations when trying to explain what "those strange blips on the monitor" mean.

Not "Incredibly Easy"!!
While this book advertises that it will make ECG interpretation "easy", it does provide the proper graphics to make this possible.The first few chapters of the book are accessible and the end of chapter quizzes are helpful.However, once you get to Chapter 3"Interpreting a Rhythm Strip", the strips are impossible to interpret due the small size of the strips!You need to be able to count the boxes to interpret the rhythms and this is virtually impossible, unless you have a large magnifying glass!I thought this might be one occurrence in the book, but it is throughout, making interpretation of strips near impossible!As a novice ECG person, this is not something that I would have looked for before purchasing the book.Other ECG interpretation books have much better graphics of the strips, making interpretation (while still not "easy") doable, and not frustrating!

does what it says in the title
I wanted to make sense of ECGs. I bought a few books to help but I learned the most from this one. ... Read more

A necessary text for nursing school
This is a classic textbook, and I've heard from many other nursing students at other universities that this is the text that they used, as well. Especially good if your prof touches on something and you want/need a fuller explanation. Make sure to get the study guide, though, as it will make all the difference in the world for exams and boards!!!!

WOW... SO MUCH!!
It is interesting to have this book because I am in a practical nursing course, yet, my instructor uses this RN based textbook while we were actually required to get another one.Because she was pulling her questions and rationale from Whaley and Wong, I decided to purchase a used one to stay at her level. It is very detailed, and it may have too much information, even for an RN, however, I do appreciate the lay out of the information, diagrams, and nursing care plans that I was able to utilize.They would benefit from editing this book to just give what is needed, because you may get bored.
Too much information
Sure, I understand that Pediatrics is a complex field of study, but good grief just give me a summary already.This book is undoubtedly too lengthy for my taste and should definetly undergo some serious restructuring (hence, cutting out some pages) to suit the limited amount of time the typical nursing student has to spare. Good luck if you buy it and good call if you don't. ... Read more

Good for nurses or for any interested layperson
This book gives you a good introduction to pathophysiology without being very technical. Even if you are not a medical professional, you will still grasp the concepts because the author gives simple but adequate definition of the disease and its underlying causes. I am a career switcher (switched to RN) and this book worked for me.

A very clear book :)
This is a fine book from an author who collaborated with other writers to make a book that clearly explains the common diseases that disturb the human body and its organ systems. Read more
