The book was in brand new condition. I received it in a timely manner. I am very impressed with Amazon.

NURSING BOOK
THIS BOOK IS A GREAT HELP. I AM A NURSING STUDENT AND I THINK THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK.

Life Saver
This book saved my life 1st and 2nd semester of nursing when I was just starting out soing Care Plans. It has about all you need to do a care plan all you have to do is individulize it to your patient. If you need a Care Plan book I would get this one.

Great Careplan Book!
Great book! Has nursing diagnosis along with the care plan set that can be individualized/customized by patient needs. Wished I had a book like this when I was in nursing school! (This was purchased as a gift to nursing student I tutor.)
I highly recommend this book! Easy navigation, with a lot of extras!!!

To make a long story short, College Direct never delivered my textbook.When I tried to get my money back,they told me to sort it out with the post office and my apartment complex.They would not give me a refund for a package they claim to have delivered.They have a poor customer service department.I would try buying from other vendors, before using any of their services.

Comprehensive
This book is an excellent resource for someone who is going through a Master's Prepared graduate program.Very comprehensive and detailed.If you've never had a Research course before, you really need to focus while reading, but this book is very well written.
Suggestion:Titles and Subtitles could be more clearly defined - otherwise great!

Nursing Research
This text is a very good review for those who are just entering into the world of nursing research. It is however a little wordy. Very difficult to understand at times, but over all a good purchase.

Good book, but no CD.
This is a good book that I was glad to find since my nursing research class is one of the few masters degree courses that has exams and quizzes (most of the classes just have a ton of papers) that determine your grade.The problem was that the first time I ordered the book it came without the CD.I figured some smart nursing student scammed Amazon out of the useful CD, then sent back the book for a full refund minus the CD.I returned the book for a new one and the same problem occurred.I kept the book because even without the CD I figure the teacher probably plagiarized some of these questions for the quizzes and exams.I am disappointed that twice it came without a CD, even when I identified the problem to Amazon.

Good luck.

poor
Book is defunct missing - it goes from 214 to 231 through 238 then repeats 231 onward again. Also CD rom ismissing. The book is essential for my learning and was costly

Emailed the dealer requesting a new book but they want me to remove poor review and send damaged book.By Faith I bought this book online and I am not receiving the same courtesy

I want a new book then I will return the old

Nursing and Technology
This book is a good textbook for any Nursing Informatics course.It is easy to understand the processes presented today in the nursing world.This book explains in details this new technology in the nursing world.I would recommend this book as a teaching tool for any Nursing techology course.

Informatics Nursing
This book came quickly and in mint condition. Needing the latest information? This book is a great resource for a nurse wanting to stay up on the latest information for you nursing career.

It's okay
The book I ordered was for a class I am taking. It is very informative, but I found I really didn't need to use the book all that much. I did pay for 2 day shipping, but was very disappointed when it took a week and a half to finally arrive. I was already ending my second week of the class. So having the book at that point seemed mute.

Best Use of Money
When it comes to writing your care plans for nursing school, you can't go wrong with Sparks and Taylor.
The back of the book gives you a list of conditions and the possible nursing diagnoses for each one. I would be lost without it. It takes the guess work out and helps you begin your problem solving, critical thinking.

A must buy.

Nursing Book Review
The book is a great nursing diagnosis book, we use it for the rest of our college career and in the field.

Very well organized and easy to use
As a BS Nursing student who is just getting into the heavy Clinicals, I've explored a relatively large number of Nursing Diagnosis books and so far this is the easiest to navigate and provides *everything* I need to help with my care plans, including the all important rationales - something surprisingly lacking in many Nursing Diagnoses books. Importantly, It also includes references within the diagnoses description(s) to help with the EBP (Evidence Based Practice) portion of care plans as well.

If you are a nursing student, I highly, highly recommend this!

Excellent Reference for Clinical Paperwork
I used this book extensively for my clinical paperwork.It gives you suggested diagnoses for different diseases/symptoms, w/ suggested interventions and outcomes.It really sped up the amount of time it took me to complete all of those care plans for clinicals every week.This manual is the best for finding things quickly, and in nursing school saving time filling out all that paperwork is worth it's weight in gold.Most of the reference manuals suggested by instructors I never used - this one actually was very helpful.I recommend it to any nursing student who has to write a lot of care plans, or who has difficulty with coming up with nursing diagnoses.

Almost perfect
Received book promptly and it had minor defects that did not effect my usage of the book. ... Read more

old messed up book
the book is in a very bad shape, it is not supose to be sold to any body. Beside it is a property of a library, was it stolen?

No help at all
I purchased this book but it came too late, had already taken the test. I tried to return it but there are no directions on how to do this so I wrote an email to Amazon on how to return an unused item. I still haven't heard anything and that was 4 weeks ago.

Great asset!
This is a very good book - it explains most concepts in the simplest way you can understand. I am studying it for my exams now. I tried another nursing entrance preparatory book but this was more helpful.

Kaplan for TEAS exam
The Kaplan Nursing School Exams guide is a great tool for those who are attempting to excel the entrance exams in order to enroll in a nursing program. Yet this review is soley based on the TEAS exam. This guide covers BASIC guidelines and info regarding each subject; enough to help you succeed. I have read a lot of reviewers complain about certain books (whether Kaplan or the API study guide) and how the examples do not relate (nor are they exactly the same is a common complaint) to the exams. All I can say is that it is difficult to find a book that covers the exact material and exact questions to whatever exam you plan on taking.

The Kaplan study guide is a great tool, in my opinion, because it not only gives you plenty of questions and material to work with, but it also gives you an idea on how to approach each question. Great study tips too. This book did very well for me. Great refresher...don't expect any book to give you ALL the answers either.

I would share this book with everyone!
This book is a godsend, I really thought it was the best prep book I borrowed from the library. It had very thorough reviews for math, life sciences, physical sciences but was lacking a bit in the reading section. It did include very good examples of reading comprehension and that was one of my weakest sections since I'm not a critical, active reader. Personally, I used 4 books total to prep for my entrance A2 for about 4 days and scored a 98. This one was the book I focused on during my review of weak topics but I used Evolve's HESI A2, Barron's, and McGraw-Hill's as well for mostly practice tests. ... Read more

Leddy & Pepper's Conceptual Bases of Professional Nursing
This book came quickly and in mint condition. Want to learn more about nursing theory? Be sure to purchase this book - a great resource.

The first sentences of the very first chapter represent this book perfectly
"The words 'nurse,' 'nourish,' and 'nurture' all come from the Latin root 'nutrire.'The word nurse may be used as either a noun or a verb (Agnes, 2005)."

As you might have correctly extrapolated, the content is usually too theoretical to be useable, yet too rigid to inspire meaningful reflection.The tone is sometimes moralistic, and the writing always very bland.Many times I found myself thinking "they must have a page quota to meet."

If you need this book for class, rent it.

Easy, Optmistic Textbook Reading
This textbook was assigned for my 3000-level Concepts of Professional Nursing class during the first semester of my BSN program, and like the class, the book seems optimistic and simplified. The class is set up as more of a round-table discussion with colleagues, rather than students & professor, and the book is well-suited for it. The major concepts are noted at the beginning of the short chapters, and are addressed in the order presented. So far, so good for assigned reading.

No Problem
I received my book in less then a week.It came in a box so it could retain its shape and was received in perfect condition.

Conceptual Bases of Professional Nursing
This is an excellent book, it covers the professional nursing from the beginning to current.The chapters are well defined. It is my first time of seeing vignettes at the beginning of each chapter.This has an interesting effect of making it relevant to today, I thought it was a good idea to use that.The only complaint I have of the book per se, is the small print.As a study book, the print is uncomfortable to read. Nursing is becoming a second career for a lot of nurses, and with that you will get an older generation going back to school.Battling with the font size is no fun. ... Read more

the idea of this book is great and it the cute drawings do help with memorizing but there is no rhyme or reason to whats covered whats not and the order, still glad I bought it but to make it useful I photocopied the pages and put them in an order that made more sense to me.

Nursing Student's friend
Great for visual remembering aid! I love these books and bought them after seeing a friend with them.

Great for the visual learners
As a visual learner I found that this book helped me out a lot in studying for my nursing exams. Gives you useful information that you can remember during your exams and everday practice.

Nursing Memory Notebook
If you are a visual learner, this is the book for you! I had a lot of problems getting into the whole critical thinking aspect when I first starting nursing school after being out of school for 12 years. I can remember so much more because of this book.

brand new. helpful, portable nursing diagnosis guide.
This Mosby's Guide to Nursing Diagnosis was brand new in the packaging. It is a convenient way to have Nursing Diagnosis information at your fingertips. Our clinical instructor suggested that we may also want the full-sized textbook for more detail. I bought a previous edition of the full-sized book and will probably keep that one at home, while I'll bring this guide to school & clinicals.

must have
I had a cox to do careplans for my first year of nursing then i saw this book. I will cut my careplan time in half easy to use indexed by pt.diagnosis this book is a life saver for clinical careplans.

Health Science Library Editor's Recommendation
Health Science Library Editor's Recommendation

This is an excellent text however we recommend Physical Signs in Medicine & Surgery: An Atlas of Rare, Lost and Forgotten Physical Signs as it is the most comprehensive resource available for practitioners and students in the clinical fields. Whether you are studying medicine, dentistry, nursing, or veterinary science the answers to even the most difficult diagnosis are in this Atlas. After you begin to use it, it can replace a half dozen books that cover physical signs. This awesome clinical text and a scut monkey house manual are all you will need for even the toughest residency and you will continue to reference it for years into the future. It is the - Must Have Book - for learning differential diagnosis.

Great little book!
This is a great smaller book for nursing diagnoses.It's clear, concise and fairly easy to find information in.However, it could be a little more user friendly in helping you to QUICKLY find the diagnosis you're looking for.As far as helping with Care Plans, it lacks "related to" information, but great to have as a second book if you already have a Care Plan book.

medical surgical clinical companion 7th edition lewis
this book is the greatest, i always order the clinical guide along with my text book but this is by far the best. I love the attention to detail. i am a slow reader and get distracted easy so this book allows me to key in on the most important point covered. the book was in excellent shape and was affordable.

I bought this because I cannot take the larger text book with me all the time. I use this at clinical as a nursing student and it is WONDERFUL!

Community nursing text
This book is a GREAT public health nursing resource, it lays down a strong foundation for community nursing. I get the most use out of the clinical application sections, they provide modern situations and are informative. You can access the supplemental student resources online through Evolve. Just follow the textbook's instructions. The resources are helpful for added understanding. I purchased it through Amazon as I do most of my textbooks. The delivery was right on schedule as usual.

Not up to textbook standards
I hated having to read this book, and here is why.I don't like it when authors use the guise of a textbook to broadcast their personal opinions, viewpoints, and biases.A textbook is not the place to tell me how you feel about drug use, modern families, or the current controversy about childhood immunizations.A textbook should be free from politics.It should be neutral and objective.These authors clearly don't understand that.They seem to think that they should give the appearance of being objective and politically correct while still preaching to their captive audience.We pay so much money for these textbooks and we are required to read them, so they should at least meet the standards for professional writing.Why is the bar lower for nursing textbooks?

Here is just one tiny example from p. 445: "Rather than learning nonmedicinal methods of coping, Americans rely heavily on prescription and OTC drugs to relieve (or mask) anxiety, tension, fatigue, and physical or emotional pain."Oh, so you are saying that people who use drugs are weak and they don't know how to deal with their problems?But then here is the very next sentence in the book: "Addicts are often viewed as immoral, weak-willed, or irresponsible persons who should try harder to help themselves."So which one is it?Is it the public's opinion that drug users are weak, or is it your opinion?And if so, why are you giving me your opinion?I didn't ask for it.

Fundamentals of Nursing
Although book was used it was in excellent condition and still had the CD with it.Very satisified with my purchase.

Not good enough
This book is so full of fluff, it's almost unbearable. It also has many content mistakes that leave me shaking my head. It contradicts itself constantly and reads like a collection of undergrad college papers. I gave it two stars because it covers the basics, although in a very sloppy manner.

The ebook version gets 0.5 stars for being a horrible mess which looks nothing like the original. Think never-ending webpage, with useless notetaking and search functions.

If you are a professor, please keep looking. This can't be the best there is.

GREAT PRODUCT! RELIABLE SELLER
Book showed up when expected and was in perfect condition.Extremely useful and was lightly used as promised.

Not used for class
Was told it was a required book for class and the exams are solely based on the professors power points.Waist of money for me. But if you have lots of time on your hands to read it.It has A LOT of great information.

The WORSE book that I have read in my life
The WORSE book that I have read in my life!!! you can't find anything. Very poorly written. I look in the index and nothing can't be found.

If research is new to you and this is your required text...good luck.
If you want a book that will explain nursing research in the most confusing way possible, you should get this book. The review questionson the CD help a good bit, but the book's explanations of terms and principles couldn't be more confusing. Throughout the reading they try to use "$10 dollar" words instead of simple understandable words that mean the same thing to describe very complex terms/principles. This just adds to the headache of trying to understand these terms/principles. The study guide book is useless. It uses crossword puzzles for each chapter review...yeah crossword puzzles. So you go from one extreme of usingnot-every-day words to the other of using 4 year-old games to explain stuff. I heard the next edition is going to have some connect-the-dots for us to do.

Nursing research introduction
This book was easy to follow. It made my class and online work easy to manage. Great for beginners. I found it to be very informative.

I searched under books to find this item, I ordered it, then received a burned cd from the seller of some type of test bank which I don't even know what it is.The product was not what was listed so the seller refunded me the money.When I ordered I was offered an amazon credit card at checkout which would have given me $30 toward my purchase so I applied and got the card.When I got refunded from the seller however, I lost the opportunity to get that $30 toward another purchase which is disappointing since that's the only reason I got the card.

smeltzer 11th edition
This was a great buy! I am in nursing school and it is so much better to have my own book.Amazon was the only place I could find a NEW text book for such a great price. I would definitely recommend this product and the seller. I also love that this book comes in two smaller parts rather one huge book like the ones you have to get on campus. You can't go wrong by purchasing this product at this price!
