I have been practicing as a nurse practitioner for more than seven years and own several reference books. This is the one I reach for whenever I have a question. It is easy to use and contains all of the information I need. I own three copies, one for each office and one for home. I recommend it to all of the nurse practitioner students I precept.

A well written, cutting edge reference. Easy to use format, clearly outlining differentials, diagnostics, and referral guidelines. Great patient education sections. Has replaced all my other primary care texts.
