Introduction to Medical-Surgical Nursing, 5th Edition PDF
Books that are written by this trend are great for the LPN student. They have excellent study guides that really have you search out the information, and makes it easy to learn and retain information. I am using another med-surg textbook, actually, but, for maternal child nursing, my school used Introduction to Maternal and Pediatric Nursing by Gloria Leifer. Got an A because of the way information was worded and that fantastic study guide. Once I knew that they had a med-surg text, I immediately purchased it, although I only have one semester left. I got an A on my first exam, while most people used the required text and got Bs. Also consider purchasing Basic Pharmacology for Nurses in this thread. That particular one can be for RNs OR LPNs. You'll be ahead of the class, trust me!By PaganDeva2000
This book has a lot of information that I needed for my nursing class. It was helpful but also confusing. I found the chapters were to long and the information was difficult to understand, I wish they would have made the information more understanding.By Stacey Jones
