What fundamental book are you guys using. Is anyone using Craven for fundamentals?

AT UMASS, I used Harkreader and Hogan and it sucks...do not use any book by Hogan...she will only make it harder for you to understand anything. I heard Craven is a pretty good one to use!

Wilkinson and Van Leuven.

Potter and Perry here too, not too fond of the way it is written though. Anyone else find it hard to read??

To the one's who have Kozier and Erb, how is it? I start my program in January and I know thats the fundamental book we have to have. Is it understandable, or do you need to supplement another book in order for you to understand the subject?

I am using Craven and we just fininished the periop chapters and are now moving on to safety.

We're using Craven.

How is everyone doing in your fundamentals class with Craven? 11 out of the 29 students in our class are not passing the class!

Wow, 11 out of 29??? All 28 people are passing our class.

Kozier and Erbs

Potter and Perry here too!

Perry and Potter here. And I'm sure that my class has lost a person or two somewhere, but my 12-person clinical group is still intact, and no one that I actually know has failed or dropped. We're covering "activity and exercise" tomorrow, and "skin integrity and wound care" on Thurs.

we've got Barbara Stright published by LIppincott. Fundamentals of Nursing and Concepts (I think)
