I am a second year nursing student and I bought this book at the beginning of the semester at the recommendation of a clinical instructor. The lay out of the book is clear and concise, making it easy to referance. It helped me with my nursing diagnoses and plan of care. A huge time saver when you aren't quite sure what direction to go in with your care plans for a tricky pt. Saved me hours of frustration that I had before getting this book. Other students borrowed it and then went on to buy it for themselves. It was worth every penny.

This book is a great help in school. I really like the way they organized the careplans by nursing diagnosis, then medical diagnosis...makes it easier to navigate what you are looking for.

When I started my first semester in nursing, the instructors said to get a different book. I struggled with my care plans. with the first 5 coming inat an average of an 79... ewww right. Well I got this book and I never got anything under a 99!!! It was easy to use and helped alot with my interventions. A must Buy for any nursing student!

Whether you're a student nurse or a seasoned nurse, this book of care plans is quite comprehensive, relevant, and easy to use. You will find nearly any nursing diagnosis in this text, with complete plans of care, well laid out for ease of adapting to your patients' situations. The nursing diagnoses are placed in very logical order, so it's fairly simple to find the right plan for patients.

Every nursing unit should have one available. Every school of nursing needs this.

This book has helped me tremendously through the long journey of nursing school. Every time I had one of those long 15 page care plans due, I would pick up this book and it would help me fill in all the blanks. It is broken down into cardiac care plans, pulmonary care plans, general health care plans, etc. There is a care plan for just about all patients; only requires you to personalize it. For my care plans required from my professors, one care plan requires 20 or more nursing diagnoses so this realllllyyy came in handy when I was running out of ideas. This book not only gives you a nursing diagnoses, but also related factors, risk factors, actions and interventions with the rationales, and goals. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone! You will not regret it!
