.Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Thumb Index)
City Travel Guides > Books > Nursing
by: Donald Venes

February 14, 2005
So far my husband and I have found this book to be very helpful, we have only had it a month and are both taking medical terminology. He's taking the class for a biology degree, and I'm taking the class for massage therapy. Every time we have looked up a word, it has been there. If it needs a picture, there is one. It always gives you the root word with prefix and suffix separated and what language the word came from. The thumb index makes it much easier to find pages quickly than the books that don't have them. The definitions are easy to understand and are oftentimes more helpful than the definitions in either of our textbooks.

.Anatomy Coloring Book, The (3rd Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Nursing

As an A&P teacher, I find that students who use this anatomy coloring book get it faster and retain the info longer than any other. It is much more accurate than other anatomy coloring books. Highly recommended!

.Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn)
City Travel Guides > Books > Nursing
by: Linda Anne Silvestri

October 23, 2007
Although I am only halfway through the text, I have found it covers a multitude of topics and is very easy to use. I especially enjoy the accompanying CD which provides questions similar to the ones I experienced in nursing school. As an added benefit, there are a few assessment questions with an audio component that require knowledge from a student's clinical experience. With over twelve hundred pages, it is rather large and time-consuming, and some topics are not discussed in great depth. However, for an outstanding general review this book is well worth the money.

.Nursing2009 Drug Handbook with Web Toolkit (Nursing Drug Handbook)

from: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Well trusted product...have used these drug references over 18years and finally decided I'll never win the free book, don't want to pay the $52 the company wants with shipping and handling, so Amazon is a winner! Book is new condition, like I'd expect from the company.

.Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2008-2009 with CD-ROM: Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam (Kaplan Nclex-Rn Exam)
City Travel Guides > Books > Nursing
by: Barbara Irwin, Judith A. Burckhardt

February 05, 2008
Through my years of nursing school, the NCLEX exam grew to be a scary bugaboo that loomed after graduation. Out of fear, I purchased assorted NCLEX manuals, cards, and software to help me prepare. Regardless, my anxiety level was high. When a casual friend mentioned Kaplan's NCLEX-RN, I decided to allocate scant resources for yet another NCLEX manual. Happy Day! This book is different. It teaches Test Strategy. I learned techniques to calmly sift through alternatives and arrive at correct answers. On 'test day,' I walked into the exam area confident and relaxed. In less than one hour, I walked out the same way. The computer ended the exam after the minimum number of questions. PASSING SCORE! Thank You, Kaplan.

This book is so worn already with the use that it gets, which just shows how essential it is. Everything that you need to know about the basics of care plans is in it

.Mosby's 2009 Nursing Drug Reference (Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference)
City Travel Guides > Books > Nursing
by: Linda Skidmore-Roth

June 05, 2008
An excellent drug reference. The drug monographs are well written and include more complete information than found in many other references including herb interactions and unlabeled uses. The do-not-confuse information is also well researched and well written. Even though this guide is targeted at nurses, the information here is presented in an accessible format readable by most anyone. The physical size of the book is also nice - small enough to be easily portable (not like a PDR!) the book is physically smaller than it looks in the Amazon picture. The only suggested improvement is if this book was available in an electronic format.

.Fundamentals of Nursing (Fundamentals of Nursing (Potter & Perry))
City Travel Guides > Books > Nursing
by: Patricia A. Potter, Anne Griffin Perry

March 20, 2008
Not only is this book required for my courses but even if it weren't I would have to have it. It is absolutely essential for me in Nursing school. I already owned the previous edition and still bought this one because I was that impressed. This version is smaller, more focused and direct. Content is easy to understand and very helpful.
