(Hide Review...)  Book for the Ages
Reviewer Permalink
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

(Hide Review...)  Don't go to nursing school without it!
Reviewer Permalink
I have the 7th edition which was in our required book list for school. It is one of the only books I have used every semester, and I'm sure I'll use it in this last semester. I couldn't have done my evidence based papers or nursing care plans without it.

I purchased this book for Nursing school for the Fall. Based on the reviews from our instructors, they are very pleased with this book. I am excited to begin using this book in the fall. Amazon was a pleasure to work with. They shipped out much quicker than originally anticipated.

This book was so helpful when I had to write care plans for patients. It is so easy to use and takes you step-by-step through the nursing process. I use this book instead of the book required by my school.

(Hide Review...)  Not enough detail

Does not give detailed explanations of diagnoses. But list many different diagnoses that you may not have thought of.

This book was required for my school of nursing and I'm really glad I spent the money on it. It has not only basic interventions and rationales for nursing care, but also teaching, medication, lab, pediatric and geriatric interventions with the rationales. I have literally 10 other nursing care plan books, but this is the one most of my interventions come from.

(Hide Review...)  Nursing school textbook
Reviewer Permalink
The book I purchase was in very good condition and arrived very timely as promised by seller. The book itself it part of my mursing school textbooks and far more inexpensive online than in a college bookstore. Even if your school dosen't require this book all nursing students should have one as it it the guidelines to treating and assessing patients.

(Hide Review...)  The best, hands down--a must for nursing students
Reviewer Permalink
This book helped me raise my clinical grade to an "A." I was struggling with care plans, and it cleared everything up for me. I bought every nursing diagnosis/care plan book I could find, and now keep this one on the top of the stack--it is well worth the money. For those of you who are buying it because it is required--consider yourselves lucky that you are starting out with the best.

(Hide Review...)  Great Book for Nursing Students!!
Reviewer Permalink
I love this book. It has everything in one spot. It goes into great detail. It covers Biomedical AND psychosocial. It covers children through the elderly. Best of all, it has those darned Rationales and references that are such a nightmare to look up. This book took me from a student who did mediocre care plans to one whose "nursing process papers" are always used as the "example" the class should follow. It is worth every single penny and then some. Unless you love care plans/the nursing diagnosis, or whatever your school calls it, do yourself a favor and get this book.

(Hide Review...)  better than the other one
Reviewer Permalink
just got this a couple of days ago, last ed. rated highly by others in my class (RN program) and since Im on summer break, I waited for this one. Those of us who've been up till midnight the night before clinicals will like that this one is organized, it gives what you need in a logical place. The other books I've used have you hunt back and forth for defining char. and outcomes etc. (see page ### see diag. ##.## etc) but this one has everything right there, you can look up by Sx, by medical Dx or alphabetically by NANDA; try to get it early enough so you have time to look at the first chapter, it explains where and how to find what you need quickly, worth the $40 in time saved alone.
