I am an older RN student changing careers into nursing. Before class and clinicals I didnt have much exposure to hospitals so it takes me a little longer to learn and get acquainted with the material and where to look for it. In clinicals this book is helpful in giving me an overview that includes a description of the disease/diagnosis, the pathophysiology, causes, Risk factors (which you can use to help you pick a risk for NANDA), Incidence which tells you what part of the body can have affects or perhaps if it is more in men or women, a common characteristics section (i.e. tenderness, pain, erythema, warmth, edema...) complications (i.e. sepsis, DVT, progressions of cellulitis...), what to assess for (i.e. fever, chills, warmth and tenderness of the skin...) physical findings, test results i.e. what lab results to look for (helpful when doing your care plans later and you are relating your labs to your patient), and treatments with a medication section that lists the classes of drugs most commonly used, and surgery. There is also a Nursing Considerations section with a goal or "key outcomes" section (pt goals), a nursing interventions section (general more like nonpharmacologic like raising HOB 30 degrees), a "monitoring" section with items to monitor like pain, vitals, and edema. And lastly, a pt teaching section that has discharge planning listed (these 4 sections are really helpful to follow when choosing your interventions for your care plan as they really keep you on track). As one of the reviews stated this is all on a 2 page format that looks very similar to their davis drug book layout, but with all of it laid out in bulleted lists. Other students were ordering their own after they saw mine. The soft cover is laminated too which makes it easy to wipe off. I will absolutely be using this not just for school but after as well when I start working. This really helped me to improve my care while in clinicals and increase comprehension when doing my care plans. Because this has 460 diseases/conditions listed it would have been great if they had a "Possible NANDA section" like the Tabers dictionary has for each disease they list in the back but alas something to improve on, and maybe will be in later editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book to buy for nursing students! a lifesaver :)

I wish I had found this book earlier in my nursing studies. Of all the of books I have bought while in nursing school, this is my absolute favorite! It's loaded full of information, but in an incredibly easy format to use. Each disease is on only 2 pages, so no page turning. It's right there in front of you, categorized perfect with all the pertinent information needed in nursing and in school right down to goals and interventions. My only regret is how much money I spent before finding this book on other books to help me get thru nursing school. It will go with me everywhere for the remainder of school and my career! I also like that it's not a hardcover, but not a soft cover either. It's a sturdier soft cover type material which makes it easy to carry and doesn't add much to the weight of my backpack when going to and from places. If you're in nursing school, you know what I mean.
I give this book 5 stars!

I wish they'd come out with a new edition of this book. It has a lot of main diseases but it could add more. This is a quick flip resource. I used it a lot when studying specific disorders for exams and found it extremely helpful.

Current nursing student who just completed first quarter of clinicals this book consolidated patho, causes, S/S, lab tests, nursing interventions, and patients in one easy book. Used it in conjunction to the signs and symptoms book (also helpful) and was good for careplans. Figured it will be good going into med surg coming up!

I bought this when I started my LPN program in 2011. I use it all the time. It's a great reference for students when doing all of that necessary but tedious paperwork about a patient. I have also had occasion to use it at work as a nurse when I was presented with an uncommon disease. I'd definitely recommend this for nursing students.
