Review: Perfect for nursing school - "Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts and Practice" is a comprehensive and indispensable resource for nursing students navigating the complex world of medical-surgical care. As a nursing student myself, I have found this book to be an invaluable companion throughout my education and clinical practice. One of the standout features of "Medical-Surgical Nursing" is its thorough coverage of essential medical-surgical concepts. The book delves into a wide range of topics, including anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, nursing interventions, and patient care across various medical and surgical conditions. Each chapter is meticulously organized and expertly written, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter. Review: Great Book.. Easy to Understand - This was the required textbook for my Med Surg classes, and I absolutely loved it. It is so concise and covers the patho and nursing interventions so well. I also loved all of the charts and diagrams. Some people in my class complained that the chapters were a little bit too in-depth for what we needed to know as nurses, but I thought that it just made the information more clear. The main drawback to this book is the size. It's a huge book if you get the hard copy of it! I got the Kindle book and it was much easier to take to class. Highly recommended!

Great nursing text
This book is required for the nursing program I'm in. Even though it's required I still think it's a great book for anyone trying to get their RN. I like how the book shows key point to remember in various boxes through the chapters. The online access can be helpful especially in your first semester. Another great Med Surg text is Medical-Surgical Nursing : Clinical Management for Positive Outcomes by Jane Hokanson Hawks and Joyce M. Black. This book was suggested by my clinical instructor and I find that it is helpful when you're sick of reading Iggy.

BIG BOOK!
This book has soooooooo much information. I don't know how many times i feel asleep reading this book. As a nursing student i felt that there is way to much "extra" information that is mixed in with the information I need to learn for nursing. I have read paragraphs only to find out that the amount of usable information could be summed up into half the material read.

Medical-Surgical nursing is a monster nurse specialty...this book made me really enjoy it. Throughout the semester and lugging this huge thing around, i uncovered the diseases and disorders that can occur throughout the different systems of the body. The red light situations that we'd want to look out for, but most importantly the nursing interventions needed. the organization of the material makes this very intimidating book, reader friendly. Plus, NCLEX practice questions are embedded throughout the readings so that you can test your knowledge on recently read material. Bonus for those who might not know...this is an elsevier published book and if you go to their website, you get access to free resources that come with the text. You just have to create an account (unless you already have one through your nursing school like i do) but you'll get even more resources to study from :))

Highly recommended - even if your class is using a different book.
My class used Medical Surgical Nursing by Sharon Lewis. I couldn't stand the way it was organized so I purchased this book. It is well organized and well written. It gets straight to the point and highlights the important information in "Nursing Alert" boxes. My test score improved when I started using this book. I highly recommend it.

amazing book
This book is the perfect med-surg book. I have read it almost cover to cover and it is very easy to read. It reviews pathophysiology while discussing the diseases and disorders. Great collaborate care sections, NCLEX-based questions in each chapter. Has some samples for care map/plans in each chapter as well.
