Review
"Every generation of student nurses has one book that becomes their 'bible'...This book has the potential to be the first point of reference for today's generation." "Heather McLelland, Sister and Accident and Emergency," Accident and Emergency Nursing Vol 9 No 4, October 2001
excellent reading for post-registration nurses who have forgotten the basics. However, far from being basic, this book contains a wealth of knowledge which reflects current research and practice while maintaining a focus on the holistic care of the patient." "Paul Wicker," British Journal of Perioperative Nursing, vol 11, March 2001

The Bible!!!
I have been studying my nursing course at university for almost 18 months now and I have referred to this book time and time again for almost everything - ethical issues of consent and autonomy, pathophysiology of everything from heart failure to diabetes and how to do everything from taking a blood pressure to ECGs. This book has helped me with countless essays, reflective cycles, action plans and exams. A bible for any student nurse.

Fantastic and a MUST for any adult nursing student
This book is FAB. It goes through normal anatomy and physiology (yet in a more basic and clearer way than most bilogy books) for all body systems. It then goes on to discuss common disorders of the system giving you detailed infomation on how to care for that patient whilst also looking at the pathophysiology of that disorder. I would recommend it to any student within the adult branch ***********

Must have book
This is a must have book for any adult branch nursing student, covers practically everything, well worth the money.A+++++++++
