this is book is not very good. It tells you vaguely some nursing concepts, but not enough to help explain 'difficult concepts' I wish i hadn't wasted my money on this book.

This is an extremely informative book packed with valuable information. I can't say enough good things about this book! It covers more than just nursing, however.

The first section is entitled "You Too Can Get Through Nursing School." Chapters here include: Study and Test-Taking Skills, Papers, Computers, Texts, Faculty Variability, Asssertiveness, Professional Possibilities, Legal Considerations, and Risk Management. This section covers the basics of getting you through school. The study tips chapter was especially useful to me.

Other sections include "Universal Issues That You Will Encounter Wherever You Go," (which includes Culture, Stress, Pain, Rehabilitation, etc); "Concepts That Are Difficult to Understand," (which incudes ABGs, Endocrine, Drug Calculations, ECG, etc); "Content You Needs To Know," (which has just 3 chapters: Critical Thinking, Research, and Theory); "How to Get Your Point Across," (which includes Communicaiton, Documentation, and Nursing Process); and a final section entitled "How to Access Information Via the Internet and Beyond."

I highly recommend this book to you. It is a wonderful resource as it explains hard concepts AND teaches you study skills, how to get along with others, and so much more!
