Memory Notebook Series

Nursing Students General Students

Published

Hi all. I was looking on ebay for some study material and came across a couple of booklets from Mosby that say they are part of the Memory Notebook Series. They look really good and I'd like to buy (or at least look at!) the entire series, but when I google it under that I still get bits and peices or the completly wrong thing altogether. Does anyone know anything about this series? How good is it? Where can I find the complete series?

Thanks

Thank you nurz2be!

I see that Volume 1 of A Collection of Visual Images and Mnemonics to Increase Memory and Learning book JUST came out with a 4th edition two months ago (there is no image for the book).

I also see that the notecards/flip books are available for Pharm, Patho, and Fluids & Electrolytes. Do you have all 3 of these? If not, which ones did you find the most useful? I guess I am looking for something that will help me prepare for the NCLEX as well as when I become a nurse.

I do have all three and they are FANTASTIC! My Pharm one has been used so SO SO much, LOL. Fluids and Elec, we are just getting into so I find myself referring to that more frequently. Patho is ALWAYS a huge help as well.

The thing I LOVE about these books is the way they organize the info and include some silly off the wall pic and you would be SO Surprised how many times, even during tests those images come flooding back to assist me!

The really kewl thing, if you didn't know, is those are made by RN's! So they are totally geared for the RN, I mean LPN's could get great use from them as well, no disrespect intended! I just mean that when things are written by those who actually DO, it makes and exceeding amount of difference.

Anyways, hope this helps ya

The authors of this memory notebook series (JoAnn Zerwekh and Jo Carol Claborn) also have a book called Illustrated Study Guide for the NCLEX-RN Exam which is a very good review source. I used this in prep for the NCLEX which I passed on my first try. I bought this after getting the 3 books from the memory notebook series and was not disappointed with any of them. The info in the memory notebook series isn't indepth, just quick and quirky enough to remember it. I would give these authors the :up: thumbs up.

I would really like to get the Memory Notebook Series books. However, when I go to Amazon.com, I am confused on which one to buy. I see there are two volumes out currently, but which edition would be the latest one for each volume?

I see the one with the wizard on the cover which is titled Memory Notebook of Nursing: Pharmacology & Diagnostics. It looks like there is only one edition of this particular title.

Then there is volume 2 with a 3rd edition out with a picture of a person who is having an anaphylactic reaction. There is also another book that has a picture of a person with bipolar disorder (Volume 1, 3rd edition) with the sub-heading A Collection of Visual Images and Mnemonics to Increase Memory and Learning.

Which one(s) would be good to buy? I am open to buying both volumes, but I'm wondering if there is a difference between the Pharmacology & Diagnostics one and A Collection of Visual Images and Mnemonics to Increase Memory and Learning one.

Thank you!

Not sure if you got your question answered, but Vol 1 now has a 4th edition out. Not sure about the pharm one i'm buying that one later, but the vol 1 and vol 2 go hand in hand and you should get them both if you can. The vol 1 and 2 are based on diseases, signs and symptoms etc. hope this helps.

Yikes! I didn't know the "memory notebook of nursing" was an actual published book. I have one we made ourselves while in school. It's just loose pages in a three ring binder. There are no copyrights to it. It's just stuff we made up in nursing school that we compiled together and called our memory book. Lol! That's what I was going to send. I didn't know this was the title of an actual book. Sorry!

All good.....:D Sometimes it is good to remember that this is a public board and while the sending of information to strangers is a personal choice, as long as the e-mail address/fax numbers aren't posted, to remember that you really don't know to whom you are giving personal information to....;)
