The information in this text is given in a pretty easy to understand terms for a pre nursing student, however, the kindle version of this book is awful for class because it's not a textbook with pages, location areas only. This is so frustrating when prof tells you to turn to a page or read certain pages. Plus there is no mathematical equation to figure out text page to location area, and location areas can change according to if you change certain settings, which I accidentally did after trying to figure out a way to turn location area to page number. So my advice DON'T BUY THE PAPERLESS KINDLE VERSION FOR A CLASS!!!! Wish I could get my money back.
Was cheaper to rent through than through my university bookstore. It's a book so what else can I say. It did come a bit beat up but all the pages are there. No sticky pages. No evidence of water damage. Rent it, use it, and return it. Save yourself alot of money for something that'll sit on your shelf and never be used again.
I am a nursing student that rarely reads a book cover to cover. I made an exception with this book because physical assessment skills are broken down into easy to follow steps. I learned a lot about signs of disease in the process.
This assessment book is very detailed and has all the information needed for nursing assessments. The rental option vs buy option is amazing. The only reason I chose to give the book back it's because I already have the older version.
This book is great for refreshing your assessment skills. It provides simple tables and guides that you can easily reference to complete your assessment. This book is a must have if your are taking N3315 at UTA. The book coordinates with the class and provides you with many terms that you are required to use on your assignments.
I bought this E-book instead of the physical copy for the convenience, and it has been anything but.This e-book is horribly laid-out, the page numbers are not posted anywhere, which makes it impossible to look something up from the index. Had I known that it was so poorly formatted and made, I never would have bought it. I am very disappointed in this product. I definitely would not suggest it as an alternative to the physical book.On the other side, the flip book is fantastic. Buy it instead.
Never before have I so successfully used 5% of a product and still been able to pay full price! Had my class required me to purchase an item of which I would use more than a couple dozen pages, I honestly believe this book would have done the job. It was easy to find the information I needed, and as a bonus it provided me with a tool of extraordinary spider crushing power. One of those eight-legged terrors wandered across my study session and I smote him like the hammer of Thor. In fact, while in my backpack, the sheer weight alone likely rivaled any cross-fit class in buns-sculpting power.Should you need to learn how to assess your patient, buy this book and soak up the wealth of knowledge. Have an unruly child? Buy this book and show him what grandma meant by "Takin' you out behind the tool shed." It's many uses range from socially unacceptable to boring-but-brain-building. Either way, this is recommended!
The book was for my nursing class and I rented it from Rentals and it was the best decision. The process was easy and I really used the book and learned new information that I was able to apply in the real world.
