Great Medsurg Book November 16, 2008
Wondergirl517 (San Diego, CA United States)
I am giving this book four stars only because the pages are thin and the material is somewhat boring to read. I heard from most people that Iggy is better. Anyway, Lewis is a very good book but it is dry and blah. Also whenever I highlight the pages, the highlighter would bleed through. I paid almost a $100 for this but it looked cheaply made.
Med Surge Nursing Review October 31, 2008
Elaine Davis (Ewing, VA)
I have no problems with this book. It was a must have because it was the book required for my nursing class.
Very helpful resource September 29, 2008
E. Ponder
I utilize this book more than any other textbook required for my program. It is a great resource for careplanning, understanding the ramifications of procedures, and supplemental reading for particularly challenging subjects. As a nursing student in a baccalaureate program, I am inundated with complex and intricate explanations for disease processes. When I need a straight forward, simple answer, this is where I go. A great starting point!
 wonderful! September 11, 2008
