Hi All,
First semester of nursing is almost over!! Now I can sleep for a while. Yesterday we had 2nd semester orientation and OMG I thought about running away after she gave us our schedules. Anyway I had been looking at these nursing made easy books and I was wondering if any of you have used them. I thought the F&E one may help and they have a med surg one. So, what do you guys thinks? Yay or nay

I've been a nurse for a while, but I am IN LOVE with that book. I recently becamed certified in MedSurg, and bought the book to aid my studying for the exam. I kept thinking that I wished I'd had that book in school!

I'm in graduate school and have taught nursing. I use these books all the time when I want something boiled down to the basic facts.
Thanks Nurses,
my instructor had one for fundamentals that she showed us pictures to and that peaked my interest. I think I will start my collection lol.

They're worth their weight on gold I used "ECG interpretation Incredibly Easy" in my third semester and purchased the Pediatrics and Critical care ones for my fourth semester. I find these books to be much better learning tools than traditional textbooks, since the information is organized in a much more digestible way.

I love the FE made EZ one. A couple classmates have the Med Surg one and they find it very useful.

I like them. They also have another version "made incredibly visual"
You can find them on ebay at better prices.

I tried these books and personally, did not really care for them. Obviously I am alone in that boat I have preferred the Reviews and Rationales series myself. Quick and to the point like I wanted...plus it didn't hurt that I realized my profs have used questions on the review CD for the respective subject
