"I only wish I found this book at the beginning of my nursing school experience and not towards the end. Finally a useful book that tells us what to do, what we can do, and prioritizes everything. I think it wouldn't have taken me 6 hours to complete a Care Plan/Map had I found this gem sooner. I'm even going to recommend it to my school to suggest students purchase it."--Angela D., Online Reviewer Love this Book!"I'm a nursing student, and for all y'all nursing professions, you need to have some form of this book.
