It is better than the newer edition. the pictures and diagrams are better and the rest of the content is the same (but in a different order). What I don't like is that you also have to purchase the nursing kit to get the correct answers to the chapter reviews...come on, I bought the book, just put the answers in the back...

Wrong access code printed inside brand new text book! I couldn't find any way to notify .com directly about this text book's printing problem/error so I'm posting it here. I am a nursing student who recently purchased this book, along with several others in my cohort. It appears that purchased an entire "lot" of these books that all have the same printing error from the publisher (Pearson). The activation code on the front page of the book, under the silver scratch off- is incorrect. When you go to register the book on Pearson's, mynursingkit.com, it actually register's a 7th edition Ecology text. (go figure??) This happened to ALL OF US that purchased through and not the campus bookstore! When you contact Pearson's customer service, they initially try to give you the run around and tell you to go back to to get a "new" code. After persisting to speak with a supervisor and making them see this is their problem I finally was able to gain level II customer service, and they (Pearson) finally issued me a access new code for my brand new text book. It is obviously a Pearson publishing error, however should be aware of this since they are selling a defective product. Hopefully they will go to Pearson and get new access codes to issue with all the new book purchases so we don't have to go through all the trouble of "customer service" techs that can't figure out how to solve the problem.Thanks,a few frustrated nursing student's from California

A great textbook that will be an asset for NCLEX prep. However, whoever proofread this text should be fired due to the presence of more than a few typos.

This text is probably the most well-written book I've read in nursing school. It is concise and informative, and it really reinforces med-surg and patho/pharm content. Although it's geared toward critical care, it's pretty relevant to all hospital nursing.

This book is the single most helpful book I have had in my Level-II nursing courses. We're using Lehne and Monahan as main text books, but this high acuity nursing is really stellar and explains things so much more clearly and concisely. Love it!

First of all, this is really a great book that breaks critical care nursing down into very basic topics. I love the modules and pre/post-tests. However, there are a lot of errors in this book.

This book gives an excellent explanation for the various aspects of high acuity nursing. As a student in my final semester of nursing school, I have found this book to be a helpful resource with clear explanations throughout. I regret having not purchased this book sooner.

Excellent read- very straight forward. This is not an in-depth read for the beginner, but builds on previous knowledge. I love it & plan on keeping this as I finish school & begin my career in nursing.
