A word of caution if you are buying a used version of this book: The new version comes with an online content access code. This content includes NCLEX style practice questions and rationales, videos, and more. If this is something you feel you might want, make sure the book you are purchasing has a code that has not been redeemed. To purchase this content separately is about $50- more than the money saved buying a used, rather than new, book.

Please check the back of the book for missing pages!! While it's been over a year since I purchased it, I am only now in need of the growth charts etc only to have my book jump from page 1638 to 1683. I am beyond peeved.

I liked it very informational

It is really super!
