This book is awesome!! I bought it as supplemental material for nursing school and this book is better than the books required in my classes. It breaks it down for you so you can understand not only WHATis going on in the body, but WHY it's happening. Great buy!

Med Surge Classes are difficult enough without having to search the internet for simple explanations of a complex concept such as F&E. I started reading this book in the bookstore and decided to order one of my own. It is an investment because I will have to know this for the rest of my career as a nurse. I asked my instructor yesterday to explain F&E to me and she said she would look it up and meet with me later. I think this book is just what I need.
