4 Stars from Doody's Review Service Feeling anxious or unsure about medical-surgical nursing care? Get grounded in the latest best practices, with the freshly updated Medical-Surgical Nursing Made... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is perfect for the very basics (e.g., preparing for a topic on an assignment or exam review). If you’re looking for something more comprehensive, then probably not the best one to buy. You can’t beat the price.
Get the CD not the book!

The cd is awesome. I have both the cd and book. fortunately i was able to check out the book from the library. Honestly, the cd helped me bring up my test grades from a C and B on the 1st two tests to high A's on the following, even getting the highest grade on the third test. The cd really prepares you for the type of questions to expect in med surg.The book, you can definitely do without so dont waste your money, instead try getting the reviews and rationales book for med surg or lippincott's nclex review book. The nclex book is broken up into sections which works out wonderfully for med surg.

This CD ROM is a great resource; I am using it to prepare for med surg certification and it is going well. It gives you rationales for the correct and incorrect answers for every question, so you keep learning more info with every one you do. It is in a cool animated game format to make it more fun and you can pick what categories of questions and how many you want to do with each session, then you get your score at the end. This was recommended by two different review courses I attended.

This is a great review for state boards or as a refresher for nursing skills.
FUN GAMES

I Love the CD a lot! I play with it each day like games. It's fun and provide hint and immediate feedback to your answer. I've learned a lot of info in there that weren't covered in text. A Plus for any nursing students to have.
worth the investment!!!

I hate reading dry textbooks. We were required to read Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing book which is huge, heavy and has a tiny font. I tried but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I purchased this cd-rom and studied all the questions by categorized system which corresponded to whatever topic we were studying at the time in class. It hits the highlights you are expected to know. The answers to the questions asked are immediate as you go through the system of your choice (ex: integumentary, respiratory, gastro, hematologic, endocrine, cardio, fundamentals, & assessment)with well written rationales to help you learn as you "test". Bottom line, I studied these questions exclusively for my first semester of med surg and made an A and it was nearly fun! :) Am using it to retain my knowledge of med surg during the summer and to build on new information for med surg part 2 in the fall! VERY worth it to me.
