Aria School of Nursing September 2012 - Page 56

@Bumblebee/Philiesgirl. I just got my informatics book in the mail friday. Im trying to study for our first quiz coming up. I'm a little confused because she said she mainly tests from the book not from powerpoints. So whats the point of our 4 hr hour leture where she goes over the powerpoints? Should I be studying everything not on the powerpoints that is in the book. Perhaps the end of chapter questions? I'm probably stressing out over nothing because everyone says this is an easy class.

Hey Holly, she did say she will test from the book, but there's soo much info from the chapters, that the power points must be useful for the quizzes! Also, they will be online, right? I looked and the quiz isn't posted yet, I'm guessing we will have til Friday to do it? Hope they aren't too hard!!

Thank you for replying Kristen. I got it in my head that we were taking the quiz tomorrow morning! Now that you mention I do think the quizzes are done online and I hope we do have until Friday. What a relief! Phew! I like the pp questions. I'm guessing the quiz questions will be similar. I tried looking up her email information, but it isn't in my notes or the syllabus. Did she give it out? I tried emailing her from angel, but it prompts me to enter her email address. So if there is a way to email her from angel....I haven't figured it out yet. So tomorrow I'm on a mission to get peoples contact information and to figure out how she grades!

K so I've been meaning to ask everyone this question all week but totally forgot lol. I hope I get some replies!
Which nursing diagnosis book did everyone get or will be getting?
The recommended one through the school or the other one that the older students seem to like better?

Can you send me both titles & info please...

The book that the school suggests: Nursing Diagnosis Manual: Planning, Individualizing​, and Documenting Client Care
by Marilynn E. Doenges (Paperback)

And this is the link to the other book from bumblebee: Amazon.com: Nursing Care Plans: Diagnoses, Interventions, and Outcomes, 7e (9780323065375): Meg Gulanick, Judith L. Myers: Books

(See page 49 I believe for the info and where I got these from)

Yes i loved my red book and so did many others. get whatever book YOU WANT. check out book stores like barnes & nobles and see what ones u like. The problem is that you are just learning the nursing process so its kinda hard to realize what is a good book vs. not so good.

Thank you! I went with the one that the school recommended because they keep talking about that specific one. I'm pretty sure I have another book similar to this from a friend who recently finished the program, so I'm hoping I can reference to that if I need to.
