Sucks
Not much that I can say that's good, but it does come with a CD-ROM and Study Guide. It will be a good reference someday if I ever work MedSurg
Bad? It contained WAY more than we would ever cover (2 volumes), so there was a lot of needless info included. It was hard to study b/c so much was not covered in our class. Ditto for the SG. The CD was cool though.
We also have Lewis. Our school hired a consultant to come in and evaluate the program and get it so that it will more prepare us for the NCLEX. She told them that this text was written for a Masters program!! Do you think that they got rid of it and got another one?????? NOOOOOO!!! The book goes into much more detail than needed for either and ADN or a BSN program.
We use Ignativicius also. My program tells you exactly which pages they want you to read for each objective, so we don't end up reading all the extra information that is in there. I like it...it explains things well most of the time, and has a great online site for additional learning opportunity.
