5 out of 5 stars a good reference book   December 1, 2008
This book is a great asset to have for student nurses. I am able to reference to this book for all of my required nursing care plans.


5 out of 5 stars Book for the Ages   October 5, 2008
This book is so worn already with the use that it gets, which just shows how essential it is. Everything that you need to know about the basics of care plans is in it

5 out of 5 stars Don't go to nursing school without it!   August 14, 2008

I have the 7th edition which was in our required book list for school. It is one of the only books I have used every semester, and I'm sure I'll use it in this last semester. I couldn't have done my evidence based papers or nursing care plans without it.
