Reviews

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.
Must have book if you write nursing dx!!! We had a list of books to get while I was in nursing school. I didn't know any better and bought them all at once. Well the nursing dx book on our list was horriable to put it nicely. The teacher didn't even know how to use it! I researched on amazon and this book got the best reviews so I bought it and guess what all the research paid off it is one of the best books for nursing dx!!! All my classmates wanted to borrow it I made them buy their own. Thank God I was able to sell my other book for about the same price as this one on amazon. Sorry for that nursing student. So if you are in nursing school and you want to get 100% on your nursing dx buy this book!!! I only gave it 4 stars because they could have made it a little more user friendly, but I did get use to it. Good luck fellow nurses!
