Product Reviews

(5 stars) - Great Value
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.

(2 stars) - Peds Book
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.
