Review Summary: Great Simplicity |
Date: 2007-09-26 |
|

|
Details: Having just graduated from nursing school in May 2007, I can now look back on all the books I used and see which were the most helpful. This one rates in the top tier - the chapters are laid out by systems, and broken down to very simple pieces of information. Sometimes the info is a bit too summarized, but for a review or a first glance at new material in the beginning of a health career or major, this book is a great help. |
