 Great for care planning! March 10, 2010
C. Ivie
I'm a nursing student and this book is a great resource for care planning! I have another care plan book also and this one is a hundred times better and easier to use! I definitely recommend it!
 nsg diagnosis book February 11, 2010
M. Leonard (NC)
I ordered this book because it was required for school. However, it is a good book. Its pretty detailed and gives a lot of nursing interventions for each diagnosis. My favorite feature was the index that listed medical diagnoses with coresponding nursing diagnoses. I would recommend this book.
Must have January 29, 2010

This is a must have for any nursing student to help out with those dreaded clinical papers and concept maps.
great careplan help January 9, 2010
A. Breland
I was having a lot of trouble with finishing careplans, and I had already purchased one careplan book that never seemed to have what I need. This one, however, has helped TREMENDOUSLY. I highly recommend it for nursing students.

I am a 3rd semester RN student and have little money to buy another resource for the dreaded careplans we are forced to write, but with one more semester to go I am purchasing another book because I just can't take writing another careplan using this book. It's lacking in all areas!
