I found the Lewis companion guide irreplaceable while studying for an exam or during clinical. Plus small enough to carry in your backpack. Best book I purchased since I've been in nursing school.

Excellent for when you need the information and don't want to read an entire chapter to find it out. I call it the Cliff's note's version of the textbook. All major diagnosises are included, their etiologies, assessments, diagnostics, and treatments. Useful in clinical.
Good things in small packages. March 2, 2008

This book is amazing! As a student nurse, we are required to have our Medsurg book at the clinical site. Those of you that have seen the book can agree that you can seriously hurt someone with that book; I mean it is huge! This companion has been a life-saver in every way. It is compact, has all the pertinent information, and is easy to read. I truly recommend it to all nursing students. Good Luck!

This book is so helpful. I have the big textbook version but this is so much easier to take with you to clinical or where ever and be able to quickly look something up. I love this book! Definitely recommend this to anyone who has the main texts.

This is good to have with you during clinicals. I am going to purchase the Lewis workbook (studyguide). The clinical advisers have shown us it helps a lot.
