This of course was a mandatory book for my class but I love it.It breaks every aspect of med-surg down for the student.The best part of this book is that there's a book code in the front cover and if you log in following the directions it links you straight to the book. There you can watch videos that explain everything, there's quizzes per chapter, and even NCLEX review questions. This book has been a major part of my success as a student nurse! I recommend teachers to consider using this book when assigning one for a semester!

I bought this book for my med surg class that will be starting in the summer. It has helped me get through basic nursing skills as well. Very informative and very detailed. Glad that I bought it early to get a head start.

the book is very clean and in good shape. if not for the fact thatthere's too much color inside which is very distracting; i would say it goes straight to the point.

This was a very important book for my class. It is very clean and basically new. I am happy with the purchase from recycle a book.

This product was completely torn up when I recieved it. The front and back cover were practically hanging off.

I received it fast with expedite. New book. I am satisfied.

Had a great experience with product and customer.

It was exactly what I was looking for.
