I mean, medsurg isn't easy, that is just a lie. :) HOWEVER, this is an easy supplement that is concise and easy to read. It's great for the beginning of a topic, or a quick review before a test. Or, there have been topics that I don't quite understand and this is the book I reach for. It's not for your NCLEX level of studying, it's for a simple and direct approach. It has great content, don't get me wrong. When I say simple, I mean a clear explanation regardless of how intricate a topic is. I love these books. I have several for all the classes I've taken.

I am in my LPN program and this product broke down concepts in a different way than my instructor or YouTube personalities. I made it to term 2 so I must be doing something right.

Wish I would have had this at the beginning of med surg 1. It explains things in a way that helps things make sense. I especially like the little drawings and quotes to help you remember things. It is written in a way that isn't boring like many other text books so that is a huge plus.

I enjoyed this book for MED-Surg, it gave a good recap on the conditions we were covering in class.

I love this book. I am able to take notes right in it for class and it really breaks down each disease for you and gives you things to focus on. I really enjoy how easy it is to read and understand what it is saying. It also has cute little pictures that go along with what you are reading. This is a great tool for class, NCLEX and HESI exams.

I bought this after using the pharmacology version. These books were super helpful in my nursing classes and I recommend them to everyone I know! They help simplify the things that your professors can't.

This book should only have five star reviews! As a nursing student I am incredibly grateful that I found this book! It really simplifies things and helps brush up on all topics you may have forgotten. I highly recommend this to anyone who is studying nursing. It will save your life!

Really good price. It hits the high points in my past PowerPoint lectures. For my personal use I would pencil in things that I know that are not in the book. I really like the book. I bought it as a supplemental book to where I can quickly go for some refreshers. We have used so many books and different PowerPoints so the information is all spread out, but this makes it easier because I just can refresh myself on information I have already learned. I look forward to purchasing other books of this title.
