Handbook to Accompany Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing

Handbook to Accompany Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing

Great Take Along during Clinicals

I love this book because when you are doing your clinicals, you do not have lug around the heavy textbook. I kept this book with me and soon found all of my peers asking to use it to look up disease processes. It even breaks down the type of care you need to give your patient so you can plan your day wisely. I would hold on to this book tightly because it is a jewel on the floor.

Easy To Carry

I am using this in my nursing program, it's a very condensed version of the garganuta Med/Surg book, great on the floor for quick reference.

Med- Surg handbook

If you are using this textbook, then it is a must for clinicals.

Great Resource

I carry this with me to clinical rotations and have used it for case studies. One of the downfalls is that not each disease is covered as it claims, and had to seek elsewhere for pertinent information. Other than that, it is great to have, and better than the text, which has more information than what is really necessary.

An invaluable tool

This little powerhouse helped me make it through nursing school! It's a GREAT resource! Its 673 pages are packed with every conceivable disorder and/or disease with methods of diagnosis, diagnostic tests, medications for treatment followed with a full nursing process from assessment through management and outcomes. I used this book to write many, many care plans & carried it back and forth from classes to clinical to home -- it's a very portable, invaluable tool -- I wouldn't have survived nursing school without it.
