The work book is a blue print of what you need to focus on. It provides a clearer and objective review extremely useful to comprehend what is needed for your training and daily experiences as a nurse student. I highly reccomend it.

This text has excellent information, but does not tell you where to find. Once you finally find it, it may be in two different chapters and slightly different in each. The index does not offer any assistance, only guessing games as to which word to use to look up the topic of choice.
