Nurse’s Pocket Guide: Diagnoses, Prioritized Interventions, and Rationales Sixteenth Edition

One of the best nursing school tools that I can use beyond graduation! “I only wish I found this book at the beginning of my nursing school experience and not towards the end. Finally a useful book that tells us what to do, what we can do, and prioritizes everything. I think it wouldn’t have taken me 6 hours to complete a Care Plan/Map had I found this gem sooner. I’m even going to recommend it to my school to suggest students purchase it.”—Angela D., Online Reviewer

Love this Book!“I’m a nursing student, and for all y’all nursing professions, you need to have some form of this book. In semesters past, a friend of mine had a later edition, and the information was incredible. This book is really a must-have when making care plans or wanting to learn more about what interventions you can do for your patient. Reasonable for price.”—Felicia M., Online Reviewer
