5.0 out of 5 stars Nursing Instructor Review, Sep 13 2008

By RN - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prentice Hall Reviews & Rationales: Child Health Nursing (Paperback)

As a nursing instructor I highly recommend this book to my students. Nursing students have very little spare time to spend sorting through a textbook looking for "important" information. This book takes all of the guesswork out of reading the text. My suggestion is to read your textbook but study from this book and then refer to the text for further clarification if neccessary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, Jan 9 2007

By T. Maclin - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prentice Hall Reviews & Rationales: Child Health Nursing (Paperback)

I am a senior nursing student working towards my BSN. This book helped me out a great deal. Sometimes textbooks go on and on about certain topics instead of giving you the basics (getting to the point). This book breaks pediatric nursing down to the science. It gives you the information without all the unnecessary mumbo-jumbo. This book is a great aid when reading your text or during lecture. I received a B (88%) out of my pediatric nursing course just from studing this book 90% of the time. Quiet as kept, a lot of nursing professors take their information and exam questions from reference books. Trust me, its well worth the purchase!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for study!, Feb 6 2008

By student RN - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prentice Hall Reviews & Rationales: Child Health Nursing (Paperback)

I would definitely recommend all of the "reviews and rationales" books. As a nursing student, I find this is a great resource book that highlights the important things. It takes a lot of time to read a textbook and I don't usually get much from it. This book composes the information in lists and also includes some helpful tables as well as things that are important to know for NCLEX. My favorite thing is the disc that comes with the book. There are approximately 45 questions divided into 3 tests for each chapter that of course gives a score and the rationale for the answer. This book is very helpful to me and I think that you would find it a useful resource as well. Hope this helps!
