 Great Value October 1, 2009
James M. Westbrook (Seattle, WA)
My wife purchased this item because she is a nursing student. The book was shipped promptly. The value was fantastic and especially better than the cost of the book at the college bookstore.
 Peds Book September 20, 2009
T. Schaich
I bought this book because I needed it for a class I am currently taking. This book in my opinion is very poorly written. There are chapters that I have read in sequence that seem to repeat themselves. If someone is looking for a book to read for their personal use, don't pick this book.
