Clinical Guidelines in Family Practice:
This book is great and is a must have for any nurse practitioner student and then later as they are a nurse practitioner in practice. This book is referred to many as a nurse practitioner's "Bible". This is because it is needed to study for the boards and then later to guide practice.
very good for NP students:
very helpful and direct; although not all inclusive, it hit the highlts. , was useful for clinical, exam study,case studies, & differential diagnosis charts
Clinical Guidelines Review:
As a new Family Practice Nurse Practitioner, this book is my bible. A wonderful reference which is quite comprehensive.
Great reference:
This is a great resource for nurse practitioner students! Three-quarters of the clinical sites I've been to have had a copy on hand. The outline format makes it easy to quickly scan for the information that you need. The only thing that I would like is a newer edition.
