Bought this for my girlfriend as she prepares for Medschool. Last night she had said she loves the books I bought her. And they are very helpful. Of course we don't speak that robotic and distant, but you get the idea.

Awesome 5 out of 5 stars.

Editorial Review:

Clearly separating the overwhelming array of medical-surgical nursing content into manageable sections as they are taught and tested, "Med-Surg Success" provides core medical-surgical concepts with related NCLEX-style questions. Like the NCLEX itself, the questions are presented at the application and analysis level, and address the nursing process, management, prioritizing, and medications: critical thinking and how it relates to test taking is emphasized throughout. Organized by body system and specific diseases, "Med-Surg Success" builds on the successful skills and strategies that have already helped thousands of students in Fundamentals Success and Test Success. The disorders chapters provide practice questions focused on the disease process and a comprehensive exam that includes the processes covered in the practice questions along with other topics involving the system addressed. Other chapters similarly cover emergency, perioperative, and cultural nursing; alternative health care and end-of-life issues; and the last chapter before the comprehensive final exam includes questions and test-taking hints specific to pharmacology and the administration of medications.

The Best Cards! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

BUY THESE INSTEAD OF BUGCARDS! These cards are amazing for both learning and reviewing. As a first year medical student, I appreciate how concise and useful the information is. The first 8 or so cards show the common infections in each organ system - VERY HIGH YIELD! The rest of the cards cover the important human pathogens. Also included are helpful algorithms and explanations of virulence and toxins. I didn't take micro before now, and I was able to follow along perfectly well. Another resource you may consider to use in conjunction is Medical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple. It is very good as well.

AWESOME!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

I aced my bacteriology exam with these. They are an awesome way to reinforce the course material. Great for a quick review!

Editorial Review:

These flashcards will help medical students organize and recall medical microbiology information for course exams and USMLE Step 1. Each card catalogues a medically important micro-organism, detailing its clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Essential aid for the Embryo section on the boards 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall, a very good book for mastering the embryology part for the Step 1 test. No other embryology text is needed for the boards other than this. This book is far more sufficient. Just make sure you actually know the material from this BRS text to smooth sail this section on the USMLE exam! It is a must to have for Step 1.

Editorial Review:

BRS Embryology, Fourth Edition is a succinct outline-format review for USMLE and course exams, with USMLE-style questions at the end of each chapter and a comprehensive USMLE-style examination at the end of the book. The book also includes radiographs, sonograms, computed tomography scans, and photographs of various congenital malformations. This updated edition has a new organization: prefertilization through the embryonic period; system by system; genetic abnormalities; and teratology. The chapter on structural chromosomal abnormalities has been substantially revised. This edition's review questions are in the clinical vignette-based format of the current USMLE. A companion Website offers the fully searchable online text and an interactive question bank.

Excellent book for shelf exam and surgery rotation. 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I just finished my surgery rotation and took the shelf exam. I have to say that reading this book really prepared me for the shelf and also for the whole surgery rotation. I highly recommend this book. You may also want to have a question book such as pre-test surgery to do some practice questions.
Good luck in surgery.

Nms Surgery Casebook 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I really like this book. The book is presented in a case-based question/answer format. The book is written in narrative form (no bullets, or choppy info). I like the design of the book and it's easy to read and understand. The cases presented are classic and in-depth. It's a long read though, and may be too much for boards when its crunch time. I used it mostly for reference and when I didn't understand something when I was studying for Step 2. It's a great book for 3rd year surgery rotation and the shelf exam. Good luck!!

Editorial Review:

Designed as a companion volume to the popular NMS Surgery, this newly conceptualized casebook presents a series format of surgical cases that begin with a clinical scenario and go through the decision-making process of patient management step-by-step. Chapter contents are parallel to other surgical texts, yet are organized and closely cross-referenced to NMS Surgery. The book visually corresponds to the NMS text, too, and contains 205 line drawings and 115 tables. This new complementary casebook offers medical students a structured subject review, practice questions, and an opportunity to work through clinical cases.

It is very nice book to refresh your knowledge before MT license exams. It is a little bit more than in the exam, so it make the exam easier.

Clinical Laboratory Science Review 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is concise, all the choices have detailed information for ruling out and choosing the correct answer. It's great for a test practice in choosing the right answer and not to look for a clue or take a wild guest.

Great Book 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My graduating class had an exit exam before graduation, this is the review book that our teacher got our material from. Some of the questions are hard, but every question is explained on how they got that answer. There is over 5 pages of color plates in the book and they each have questions. You also get a CD-rom with your book and that thing is awesome. You can create your own quizzes or take their 200 question color plate quiz. The book really helps. I love it personally.

Editorial Review:

Clinical Laboratory Science Review is the essential resource for students preparing to sit for the certification and licensure examinations in clinical laboratory science. The order and progression of questions parallels the presentation of classroom content in CLS, and the answers serve as a study guide as well as a self-assessment. Plus, the third edition of this popular review book has been completely updated, and now includes over 850 additional, new questions on a student CD-ROM!

brings it all together! 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This is a fantastic book for med school physiology, especially if you find lecture boring and need a book to bring the dry material into a clinical context. the book presents classic presentations and data, asks questions about the physiology behind the symptoms, and then explains the answers. the explanations are laid out simply using nicely worded paragraphs and incorporating all those nasty equations so that they make sense!

Editorial Review:

BRS Physiology Cases and Problems, Second Edition includes 56 case-based problems and questions that encourage medical students to integrate, problem solve, and think critically. Organized by body system, each chapter provides case studies, questions, and problems followed by complete explanations and solutions including diagrams, graphs, and charts. The book contains most relevant medical physiology and pathophysiology information, and integrates complex information across organ systems. It is helpful for traditional course material and a valuable tool for a clinical vignette review in preparation for the USMLE Step 1 exam. This revised and updated edition includes new cases and more illustrations.
