Whaley & Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children (Book with CD-Rom for Windows & Macintosh)
Rating:  -
This book is easy to use, and full of information as well as illustrations. The CD is also very useful. Highly recommended. for all nursing students.

This book is well-indexed -- which any student can appreciate -- and neatly edited. Further, the ATI Pediatric Nursing module relies on this almost exclusively. If your school requires ATI, knowing this may help you to streamline your study a bit.
Pathophysiology, nursing interventions, and even nursing diagnoses are laid out in a logical manner -- helpful for those dreaded care plans. The tables and graphs provided in this text are very helpful. So far this is my favorite text from all my courses.

This thick text is up-to-date, thorough, challenging, and interesting. Graphics and call-out boxes are useful. I enjoy learning from this book. I recently studied the chapter on cardiac issues and found it easy to read and understand. I occasionally have to look up words, e.g., recrudescent, but that is a good thing. I don't find a lot of repetitive material or useless illustrations as in some other texts.
I will likely keep this book and continue to reference it after the class.
Criticism: the CD "NCLEX" questions are very weak. I am relying more on other sources such as Mary Ann Hogan's NCLEX review book: Child Health Nursing. I wouldn't go without Wong, however. A few times, I have found some unclear writing and once what looked like a data dump into a graphic (describing research results and sources in a cluttered mess), but overall, the text is fantastic.
Other notes: Saunders NCLEX review book has many of the same materials as Wong (I have both texts).

Book was received in a fast manner in new condition. I like the organization of the subjects in this book. The wording is clear and concise. The reader is able to understand and apply what is being learned. Book does a very good job of prioritizing nursing interventions.
