Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Nursing Care (Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art & Science of Nursing Care)

Editorial Review:

Designed to maximize visual learning, this Sixth Edition features a new art program and an integrated, cohesive, student-focused suite of multimedia products. Brand-new icons direct students to free video clips and online activities. New concept maps walk students through the nursing process for selected case-study patients. Unexpected outcomes are now included in skills descriptions. Like previous editions, the text maintains its unique holistic "blended skills" approach to nursing care and focuses on case-based learning and critical thinking. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes video clips, skills checklists, chapter review questions, an NCLEX(R) alternate-format question tutorial, and a Spanish-English audio glossary. A companion online course is available free with purchase of the text.

Horrible Service:

Hello Amazon,
On September 25th,2008 I purchased Fundemantals of Nursing for my sister who resides in the West Indies and is anxiously awaiting this book. I have submitted emails about the delivery of this book and have not received a response from the seller or Amazon. I am appalled that my account was charged and Amazon's staff have not even tried to contact me.
When individuals in other countries depend on your services to further their education it is very discouraging.
Thank You more info

Well organized, easy to read.:

I think this book is very well organized. The cd is very helpful- be sure to find a capy of the book that includes the cd!!! The website is a big help too. This is the one main book we use the MOST in nursing school!!!

Great learning tool:

This textbook was pretty good. It was easy to read and follow, very good with descriptions, and helped me learn a lot for my nursing foundations class. It has step by step instructions on how to do many nursing skills and is one of the few textbooks I will be keeping for a long time to help with my future nursing career. Very good to keep as a reference tool.

Solid Fundamentals book:

I am currently using this text (6th edition) in my nursing 101 class and have found it very helpful. The authors have done an excellent job of putting together a text that is accessible, and interesting. One unique feature, each chapter includes a section that outlines the chapter content in terms of the nursing process (ADPIE)- this is very helpful for studying purposes. Also each chapter includes "focused assessment" boxes that help you to go further in-depth with your head-to-toe assessments. At the end... more info
