BRUNNER AND SUDDARTH'S TEXTBOOK OF MEDICAL-SURGICAL NURSING, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, IN TWO VOLUMES, 12E

The book assigned for my nursing program was actually called Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems, 9th Edition. This book I found to be hard to read, however, the brunner and suddarth book only stuck with the facts. I had taken tests using the other book ( I received two B's and a C) and after studying this book for my most recent exam I received an A! This book keeps things simple and I like the fact that i keeps repeating information it mentioned earlier in the chapter. This has a layering effect and reinforces the original teaching. It also comes with a disk with several questions that pertain to nursing intervention. I have found that some nursing books focus too much on the biological concepts, whereas , this book focuses only what your job is as a nurse. It does no spend alot on background and it has lots of useful tables that go into detail about nursing diagnosis specific for the disease, what the interventions are and why.

This cutting-edge book is a unique book that gives a wide range of an enhanced information about medical-surgical. nursing. Its format and presentations are friendly reading. This book encompasses all aspects of the patient holistic care; from the medical point of view and the psychological dimensions of patient care. This book gives all the foundations perspectives on all aspect of medicine and surgery for any nurse who wish to specialise in certain fields of nursing. Also in my opoinion, this book overlaps with other health professional books. It stands abreast with other medical didactic books of medicine.

Being in nursing school, your instructors are always giving you a list of books that may make the class easier, and none of them ever help; that is not the case with this book at all! This book is by far the best and easiest book I have ever used to study with, it puts things in the simplest terms and doesn't beat around the bush to give you the information. It is very well organized, and uses the nursing mindset to explain why things are important. I will be using this book long after I get out of school!

I've used this during my college years and it has helped me a lot to pass the course and I'd gained so many knowledge. And now I'm working, I still use it. AN excellent book through the years!

I have really enjoyed having the new edition of this book on Kindle. The actual book is huge. I know they split the book into two books for easier use now, but the Kindle is great. I can use the Kindle on my PC and it makes it easy for me to zoom in to the words. This can be done on the Kindle device as well. This is by far the best Med-Surg book. I have several different kinds, but none of them give you the kind of info this one does.
