My 2-star rating is in reference to the format, not the textbook itself.
I try to purchase the Kindle version of as many of my textbooks as possible to limit the load I need to carry to nursing school every day. Some are totally worthwhile. Unfortunately, this text requires quick accessibility for cross-referencing which (somewhat ironically because it's digital) is not easily done in the Kindle format.
This is not an attack on the Kindle or the textbook (it's a fantastic book); I simply recommend that if you need this book, you buy the hard copy.

I have been using the mandatory Carpenito handbook for my nursing program and hated it. A fellow student happened to have the 9th ed of this book and I immediately fell in love with it...and subsequently had to have it. The index in the front with all the relevant nursing diagnoses that coincide with specific medical diagnoses is amazing!! And I love having interventions and rationales (including EBN rationales) all spelled out for you in one location. This has saved me so much time with the millions of care plans I have to do.
My only problem is that the advertised supplemental material online including pre-made care plans, case studies, a care plan customizer, NCLEX review questions, etc are not available. The website is basically a shell waiting for someone to put the information in. I was extremely disappointed as this was the main reason I splurged on the brand new latest edition of this book. Otherwise I would've saved myself $30.
