Rating:  - Hard to follow
This book isn't layed out that great. There's no index that helps find certain care plans. You have to flip through practically the whole book to find what you're looking for.
I had to go out and buy a different care plan book to help with my nursing care plans because this one wasn't very well organized in my opinion.
Rating:  - Great Book to reference along the way...
This book has helped me tremendously through the long journey of nursing school. Every time I had one of those long 15 page care plans due, I would pick up this book and it would help me fill in all the blanks.

Rating:  - Great Nursing Resource
Whether you're a student nurse or a seasoned nurse, this book of care plans is quite comprehensive, relevant, and easy to use. You will find nearly any nursing diagnosis in this text, with complete plans of care, well laid out for ease of adapting to your patients' situations. The nursing diagnoses are placed in very logical order, so it's fairly simple to find the right plan for patients.
Every nursing unit should have one available. Every school of nursing needs this.

When I started my first semester in nursing, the instructors said to get a different book. I struggled with my care plans. with the first 5 coming inat an average of an 79... ewww right. Well I got this book and I never got anything under a 99!!! It was easy to use and helped alot with my interventions. A must Buy for any nursing student!
Rating: - lifesaver for school!!
This book is a great help in school. I really like the way they organized the careplans by nursing diagnosis, then medical diagnosis...makes it easier to navigate what you are looking for.
