Helpful in Nursing School

I'm an LPN going for my RN and so far this has been an excellent source to use to make up care plans for patients and for other homework, as well as patient care. Would definately recommend.

Very helpful for school.

As a first year nursing student I need all the help I can get! This book is awesome and great for doing rationals and care plans. I especially like that it gives reasons and dx for why the lab values may be out of the normal range.

Excellent!

This book is a lifesaver. I work in Pre-Admission testing, and need to review lab tests all the time. The book is clear and easy to use. I like the lists of what high and low values can indicate.
