I use this handheld book for quick references at clinicals and in class. It has great color illustrations and is very easy to read. The full sized text was assigned in my assessment class so I went ahead and bought the handheld. I would reccomend it to any nursing student. It covers everything, and at the end it has a full scale assessment in detail that I found very helpful on my final grade for a head to toe assessment.

I like this book very much. I am a first year nursing student, second semester clinic. We are using the companion for class, but this pocket companion is easy to bring along to clinic. Easy to read and understand.

This book is a pocketbook that is good but the textbook was really enough for me to use. I didn’t use this one very much.
