The book was exactly as described and the shipping was quick (I took the slowest way and they still got it out fast).
What I wanted was a quick reference to all the body systems that could be in a "small" book. If you are in medicine you understand that... After a couple of semesters we all have one arm that is overdeveloped from carrying those massive text books...ha
It's a good resourse

I would not typically find such a book all that wonderful however, as part of my required reading for my nursing program,I found it quite informative and in some cases eye opening. Many nursing students get hung up on the hands on portion of our work and fail to understand why we do what we do, or the importance of doing it correctly. The legal issues presented in this text help to illuminate the importance of covering ones back-side.

I bought this book for a summer school class and ended up actually enjoying it. It's full of up-to-date information about all sorts of nursing issues and is easy to read and well laid out.
