Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extremely Informative
Mosby's Pocket Dictionary is right on! Totally current with today's definitions. I am starting a nursing career at age 47 and it has helped me in so many areas with schooling as well as in personal research. Excellent resource material.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
I'm completing my studies in nursing and had this dictionary for the majority of my studies. It's very concise and simple to understand, however not quite "pocket" size. In any case I never leave home without it...even my tutors love using it. Would recommend to any nursing student a must have investment from student to RN and beyond!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love It
As a studying MT student, I find this dictionary to be extremely useful and am very glad I purchased it. It covers just about everything that the text books do not explain because they assume you already know what it means. Great tool for anyone with a limited background in medical vocabulary.
