Don't buy the Mobipocket version, 2006-04-29
This book is an excellent resource for the new or "seasoned" nurse. Covers just about every disease we are going to encounter in our work. A lot more portable than carrying around a med-surg book and a lot more succinct that a med-surg book. Gives you "just the facts, ma'am!". Provides a summary of the disease and nursing considerations, treatment, and other practical infor for caring for pts. Highly recommended for the student or practicing nurse. I have it on my PDA. If you are going to get the software version, get the Skyscape software version, not Mobipocket. Skyscape software is much more user-friendly in terms of manuevering around each entry. Skyscape uses a tabbed format for access of the various types of info within each entry (such as Summary of the disease, nursing considerations, treatment and tests, pt teaching etc), whereas Mobipocket is basically just an electronic reader. You must cursor through the entire entry until you find what you are looking for. I can recommend this by experience and I bought several of my first reference books in the Mobipocket format and have since taken them off my PDA and replaced them with Skyscape versions. A major waste of money, but the Mobipocket versions just took too long to find the info I wanted. Skyscape allows much quicker access.
