 Seller No Good For Refunds February 28, 2010

I will not buy another book from this company because it took the nearly a month to give me my refund. Better yet the packaging of the book was torn. Addition to that, the book was return to company as stated and refund was not immediatly give. The company could'nt find my book becasue of the way it was sent. In which it was sent correctly. I had so many problems since I bought from this company. I suggest that you buy from Amazon directly. I had no problems in getting a refund. This is not a good company to buy from or for refunds. The refund return policy is horrible!!!! BEWARE

I bought this book nursing clinicals. I have no objections to it, but no praises at this time. My school has used it for many years, and chooses to do so. I trust that they have found it to be an excellent nursing resource.

I have been using this book for a week so far and i must say it is very helpful. It breaks down each chapter into units and each unit has step by step procedures. It also explains most of the content in a way that is easy to understand. I would definately recommend this to a student who is just beginning nursing,
