I have been using it today for my paper. It has everything you need and it's only $20 on Amazon including shipping. When a paper is worth 20% and you have a paper every semester you want all the points you can get. And formatting is the easy part. Especially with the official book

Thank you! I have Nursing Diagnosis Handbook by Batty J. Ackley and Nursing Care Plans by Meg Gulanick. I looked up Impaired skin integrity but I don't think it fits that because the description says destruction of skin layers, and invasion and pressure ulcers. I also did a care plan on acute pain for her upper gi bleed and knee pain. And anxiety because when I talked to her and she had lots of worry about not being able to taking care of herself, what's going to happen and upcoming procedures. She is also hypotensive, anemic and diabetic. I guess I don't know really what is most important. I thought it would be her pain and what she tells me.

This is my first care plan and I'm already stuck. The patient I'm assigned is 77 and on bedrest. On the care plan it says "risk for pressure ulcer" but that is not a nanda dx. And the only related dx I found in book are: -impaired skin integrity (which she doesn't have) -risk for infection (no wounds) -risk for ineffective health maintenance (only for long term care) I would love if someone can please help me in finding a correct dx. THANKS!

I guess it's not mandatory. It said "here are the books needed for the courses" I can always buy ebooks later and get them instantly. I can get them for the main study books. Not all 20 books on the list.

Well I didn't even like ebooks for studying. I guess it would be easier to search for stuff but for reference books there's a glossary anyway. In guess I was more wondering when the school makes it sound mandatory if it really is. And for every single book there's like 20.

Thanks! Are they for laptops? Can I put them on multiple devices? And I will ask them when I start about ebooks.

I was given a tentative book list and told that I would need to buy a set from the school for a "discount" for $1,700, including ebooks. I think the ebooks are more for my help, but they make it seem like it's required. I don't really know a nice way of asking, "Do I really need the ebooks?" I already bought all the books, some older editions for some after comparing the table of contents. I really don't like ebooks for studying. I understand the books are huge. I wouldn't want to carry all of them to class, but how often will I be reading in class anyway? And would I really need to bring multiple books? Any information about books is helpful. Like did you use all the books you had to buy? Thank you for your time! It is very much appreciated :)

Ok I bought it. I've had the one I wanted picked out for at least 6 months. I think the stethoscope is the most exciting thing I'm buying for school. Especially since it could be any style, not boring white like our uniform and shoes. WOO pink and rainbow!

Thanks for the reply's! I think I'll go with "heart peace sign first name last initial heart peace sign" I'm getting a pink one with a rainbow bell so I don't think it will get mixed up. Also, I don't really see why I would put it down and forget it just like I don't forget my phone, keys, or whatever else.

I'm starting nursing school in less then 2 months so I'm buying all the supplies I need which includes a stethoscope. http://www.medisave.net/ offers free engraving. And I thought I might as well as buy a nice one that lasts. I don't know if I should put my full first and last name, or just put my first name and initial. My friend who didn't make through nursing school said I should put my name and "RN" after it, as motivation. But would it be weird to put that since I'm not really an RN yet? So I guess my main question is really if I should put "RN" at the end or if that would be weird since I am still a student.
