    Don't Skip Over This Book!

    I just finished by first semester of Nursing School and this book has been instrumental in my success! I am soo happy I found this little gem. It's been extremely helpful in writing my care plans and using for my clinicals. I showed it to my classmates and now they are all buying this book. It's written in a simple yet thorough way. It explains what each lab test if for, what the levels mean and nursing implications. It was not a required book but I would not have survived the semester without it. If you are in nursing school, believe me you will need it.
