 DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR: COLLEGE DIRECT Jun 27, 2010
To make a long story short, College Direct never delivered my textbook. When I tried to get my money back,they told me to sort it out with the post office and my apartment complex. They would not give me a refund for a package they claim to have delivered. They have a poor customer service department. I would try buying from other vendors, before using any of their services. Remember, if your package gets lost in transit, they will not give you a refund, buyer be warned.
 Makes care plans much easier Jun 24, 2010
It took me awhile to order the book even though it was required for one of my classes. I was waiting on the newer edition to come out, but oh well. All I can say is that using this book makes formulating care plans so much easier! It is broken down in alpha order by the first letter of the diagnosis. It includes all you pretty much need to make an good care plan. Of course, the basics should have already been covered in lass, but in case you weren't fortunate enough to get all the goods on how to make a care plan, there are resources online that accompany the book to help with that. There is also like an introduction to care plans in the beginning of the book. I like this book. I haven't seen any other care plan books, so I can't say how good it is compared to others. However, I did have to subtract a star because some of the sources they use to back up their evidence is old. When you're trying to support your evidence based practice in your care plan, you have to look up a whole new article, if available, because an article from 1998 is way too old and the teacher won't accept it. Other than that, fine!
Excellent seller Jun 10, 2010
I needed to purchase this book for the nursing program I start in the fall. The book's condition is as described and it came quickly! Have not used it yet, so we shall see how well it is written.

 Health Science Library Editor's Recommendation Jun 04, 2010
Health Science Library Editor's Recommendation
This is an excellent text however we recommend Physical Signs in Medicine and Surgery: An Atlas of Rare, Lost and Forgotten Physical Signs as it is the most comprehensive resource available for practitioners and students in the clinical fields. Whether you are studying medicine, dentistry, nursing, or veterinary science the answers to even the most difficult diagnosis are in this Atlas. After you begin to use it, it can replace a half dozen books that cover physical signs. This awesome clinical text and a scut monkey house manual are all you will need for even the toughest residency and you will continue to reference it for years into the future. It is the - Must Have Book - for learning differential diagnosis.
Far superior to the Cox Nursing Diagnosis book May 21, 2010
I was instructed to purchase the Fifth Edition of Cox's Clinical Applications of Nursing Diagnosis book for my program and it is a waste of money. This Ninth Edition of Ackley's book is far superior in nearly every way.
