Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Service
The book was recieved in time for my class and it was just as stated in new condition. i am very pleased.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Too vague.
This book is entirely too vague. I would have liked a bit more factual information. There is a lot of fluff to sort through to get to the meat of the text!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Contemporary Nursing Book
The book was exactly as described and the shipping was quick (I took the slowest way and they still got it out fast).

What I wanted was a quick reference to all the body systems that could be in a "small" book. If you are in medicine you understand that... After a couple of semesters we all have one arm that is overdeveloped from carrying those massive text books...ha

It's a good resourse


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Wordy Wordy Wordy !
This book is entirely to wordy ! Most folks in my class just used the ppt (power point) handed out by the instructor and scored as high on the tests as those of us who bought the book and read it.

The book has GREAT information if you can find it amongst all the extra useless information.

Hope this helped.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - wrong edition
