Principles of Pediatric Nursing: Caring for Children PDF
This book is listed as being part of the my lab series, but it has no access to the mynursinglab. You either have to purchase it separately on the website, or purchase this book in the ebook version, where it does come with it. They should really take the my lab series off the description.By Skbean20
This textbook is easy to read, organized very well, excellent graphics, pics of real stuff. I am child-free and wasn't looking forward to doing my Peds section of nursing school but it wasn't bad at all. The book was very good, and I'm a student that reads everything. A lot of students don't, but, I have used my text extensively. One caveat is that the book can be used with publisher website, which offers a study tool called My Nursing Lab and has lots of questions to answer. I found MANY discrepanies between the answers to those questions and what I found in the textbook. This is kinda a big deal because when one bothers memorizing something as fact and misses it on a test question later, fire will come out of one's head and she will spend days questioning her decision to go to nursing school in her 40s while her husband eats Subway three days in a row. . Proofreading and double, triple checking answer keys makes a difference in students' lives. I also appreciated the many references to alternative parenting/lifestyles, kids' needs who may be LGBT, and discussion of the challenges faced by differing socioeconomic status. No blame or judgment tone as there are in many other texts. The book itself is very good, didn't put me to sleep once!By lesa1219
