Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests 24 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...

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test132 reviews
Tom Wolfe
Picador, 2008
Interesting and well-written
Tom Wolfe takes us through part of the acid-movement of the 60's with Ken Kesey (author of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") and company as they embark on their journey across America to popularize acid. Wolfe writes in a way that sort of makes you feel that you are on acid too. His writing style in this book is very unique and he has an incredible way of describing things which is one thing I ...

Helpful in Nursing School
I'm an LPN going for my RN and so far this has been an excellent source to use to make up care plans for patients and for other homework, as well as patient care. Would definately recommend.

The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose 57 reviews
Janet Attwood, Chris Attwood
Plume, 2008
Surprisingly pleased
I bought this book because it was recommended to me by someone I trust, but upon starting to read it, I was almost convinced I would return it. Among other things, the writing style is a mess, the voice of the narrator keeps shifting, the design with purple bars down the margins and purple boxes for different texts is irritating. However, I kept reading because I got caught up in the story of ...

Educational Testing Service
Ets/Educational Testing Service, 2002
Great for drilling AFTER you have learned strategies
These are REAL tests published by the test-makers. This is the best way to practice for the GRE once you have learned the Kaplan strategies. When I tutor my GRE students, we start with the Kaplan Comprehensive Program book to learn the skills and strategies, then practice with this book.
This book is written by the test-makers, so the first part of the book covers more material than is ...

Test Success: Test-Taking Techniques for Beginning Nursing Students (Test Success)11 reviews
Patricia M. Nugent, Barbara A. Vitale
F A Davis Co, 2008
If you want A's Read this book
I can not say enough good things about this book. I bought it just after starting nursing school and would read sections of it as I had the time. It helped me really have an edge over the nursing exams from the on set. While other fellow students were struggling with how to "read" nursing test questions (which can be very tricky), I understood exactly what the question were asking, and the ...

A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests6 reviews
Frances T Fischbach, Marshall Barnett Dunning
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008
Always the Best
I started using Fischbach in Nursing School and was re-acquainted with it when I joined the Air Force. I have never found anything at all close to the quality of the content. I had a copy at the hospital until someone else recognized the quality of it for themselves. So I immediatly went out and bought another. I'm afraid I need another one at work. I don't mind everyone liking them. I just don't ...

Boston Common Press, 2007
So easy to cook from and worth every penny...
After borrowing this book from a local library, I just had to purchase it. I have to admit that I am a tried and true Bon Apetit cook and usually don't stray, but I've tried MOST of the recipes in the book and boy are they easy to make and delicious. It has taken the guess work out of "What's for dinner?"
Special raves from the family were the 30 minute meat loaves, the slow cooker brisket ...

Valuable additional practice, marred by multiple mistake
This book is likely the best buy currently on the market to complement the Collegeboard's Official SAT Study Guide. Unlike previous KAPLAN publications on the New SAT 1, it contains a myriad of additional practice, which is strongly modeled upon the exercises of abovementioned Official Guide. In particular, the grammar-related exercises of the Writing Section show identical error patterns to ...
