The book was easy to read, but a little wordy. I found it extremely helpful during my pediatric clinical rotation.
I bought this book to help me train nurses for inhospital pediatric care at a community hospital. The book is divided into chapters with quick reference tables that are easy to find (unlike the ones in Harriet Lane which are buried in the chapters). The nurses have expressed how easy to use the book is and how much practical information they now have available to them in seconds.
Good concise review of pediatric assessment
This is a good pocket guide and the price was right. No apparent wear and tear in much better condition than I expected. Has proved helpful many times over
