Editorial Review:
Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking for Collaborative Care is a comprehensive yet eminently readable undergraduate textbook of medical-surgical/adult health nursing that addresses the very latest trends in nursing care of adults. Revised after just three years, it incorporates both NIC intervention categories and outcome statements that are consistent with NOC outcome indicators, as well as enhanced coverage of complementary and alternative therapies, community-based care, cultural diversity, substance abuse, evidence-based practice, Healthy People 2010 goals, and cost-of-care implications for nursing. Together with a thoroughly revised Critical Thinking Study Guide, an innovative Instructor's Manual, and a groundbreaking new Virtual Clinical Excursions web-based learning experience, the 4th edition of "Iggy" moves to the forefront of nursing education as a fully integrated multimedia instructional package for mediacl-surgical nursing.

Rating:  - My favorite bookin nursing school
I love this book. While in nursing school, this was the most informative and easy to understand. After graduation, I allowed someone to borrow my book and they never returned it, so I checked with Amazon and they had it. I was so lucky to get it and will never lend it out again. In nursing school, our instructor called it "Iggy" because we couldn't pronounce the author's name. Now, when I have a patient or even a friend with an ailment I look it up in my Iggy.
Rating: - Great!
I wish I found this book earlier when I was still a freshman. The contents are well-explained, and easy to understand. I put aside our school's textbook, and used this one instead - helped me a lot!
Rating:  - Annoying book
As a nursing student, this book is used quite heavily by the faculty. The book's infinite charts, tables, and figures are enough to drive you nuts. There are very few good photos. Our nursing teachers were regularly having to use other books to show us photographs of whatever we were studying. Also, after reading the material, I always felt like I didn't really know the material. If I really wanted to know the material well, I had to go study it in an Anatomy & Physiology book.

Rating: - Great Book
Many nursing books are horrible to read and comprehend - NOT this series of nursing books! Easy to understand charts, lists, description boxes, etc. spells terminology and info for newbies easily and appropriately.
By far the BEST nursing series I have ever seen!
Rating: - This book is great!
I am also a first year nursing student and the first fundamentals book we used was so useless and hard to read I hated doing my homework. However, this book is so easy to understand and use, especially with the study guide which is also wonderful. I would not trade using any other book for this one. Trust me, you'll really understand what is being talked about.
