After reading the reviews on Amazon about this book, I decided to use a long overdue voucher to buy it. As new 2nd year nursing student, it helps to have some books that you can return to again and again. After only having this book for 2 weeks, it's already proving it's worth. This and the Marsden should be the recommended buys for any student! As one of the previous reviewers stated, the only downside - the size and weight!! At least I'm building muscles whilst learning!!!
the imfamous doorstopFebruary 19, 2008 This book is big engough to squish spiders in their tracks, act as a makeshift door stop and provide a great stand for the televisions as well as many other uses that student nurses moving away from home might need as well as being one of the best resource text books you could buy!! Covers almost every disease as well as its management and pharmacology and general information on body systems..you wont be carry this to uni unless you do weights but no the less its essential!
Hospital and homeDecember 7, 2007 This book is great for finding out in great detail all about your chosen illness. It goes into fine detail about many illnesses and conditions. Very good book - I would recommend it

I am now coming to the end of my pre-regestration course and it has been a tough but rewarding three years. I purchased this book at the beginning of my training and I am so glad I did so. This has been a bible for most of my nursing theory and practically based modules. It was brilliant during the first two years and very comprehensive. In third year this book has still been a good friend, i am on the degree programme and it is perhaps no longer as in-depth as i need, but what one book is at this level? I did however use it to provide the structure and direction of my work and research, the case studies in particular are very useful when analysing theories and frameworks in order to apply them to real situations.
A solid introduction to the academic aspects of nursing and a superb aid and guide as your knowledge increases.

Having used this book as a Student, and Now 4 years post Qualification, I found this publication to be excellent as a study guide, reference for assignments and now as a reference point to refresh my knowledge when need be. I have recommended this book to collegues and have even convinced my Ward manager to purchase this book for the ward refrence library. I like this book so much, Im ordering the latest edition.
