Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV-TR Fourth Edition (Text Revision) 107 reviews
American Psychiatric Association
American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2000
"Must Have"
A definite "must have" book for any student in a counseling program. Even if not "required", this book makes writing reports so much easier because then you know EXACTLY what is required for deifferent diagnosis. I suggest all counseling/psychology students buy this book as early on in their studies as possible.

Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests 25 reviews
Kathleen Deska Pagana, Timothy J. Pagana
Mosby, 2005
Perfect for Med School
I purchased this book after looking at a friend's copy. Its great for figuring out what test results actually mean (especially for CBCs and BMPs). It breaks down every test, what its used for, when to order it - and what it means when high or low. Great reference for anyone in the medical field.
ps -I saw 3 copies of this book in the ICU the other day...

Great Pocket Mosby!
I have this and the large hardcover textbook. This pocket version is great and fits nicely into my coat pocket when I am in clinic. Although it's not as comprehensive as the big Mosby's, it's definitely handy.

Very helpful
This book was so helpful when I had to write care plans for patients. It is so easy to use and takes you step-by-step through the nursing process. I use this book instead of the book required by my school.

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition113 reviews
Dale Dubin
Cover Publishing Company, 2000
excellent for learning EKGs for the first time
I really enjoyed this book. It is interactive (fill in the blank with the answers right in the margins). There's lots of repetition so you get the concepts quickly and review them frequently. I loved this book and will keep it for my whole career because of its superb explanations and review purposes!

Every SLP Needs This!
I could not function without my "Speech Bible." Every once in a while when I need a quick refresher on certain topics, this book provides me with the information I need. I also like to use their forms when I do informal testing/observations of children.

DSM-IV Purchase
Recently misplaced my DSM-IV quick-reference manual and needed one desperately for my work. Ordered from Amazon and had my replacement within a week. This little book is a must when you are working within a tight schedule so I really appreciate having Amazon and its sellers as a resource for replacing hard to find items such as the DSM-IV manual.

Great handheld reference for nursing students!
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 ...
