   I bought this book because I have no medical training or background and am now taking an on-line medical transcription program that I have many more questions that the programs offers materials on. I was looking basically for a medical terms “for dummies” and a book that with a lot of medical abbreviations. The course tells me to make my own list and as I don’t have a lot of time, I figured I would be better off buying a book. If this is what you are looking for, this book is not for you! It offers some basic language and I found nine out of ten times, I couldn’t find what I was looking for and resorted back to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary.

   The one thing and only reason I would urge this book, is at the back of the book are Roots, prefixes, and suffixes and their meaning in an alpha sort. It would be nice if they would have told the reader which category the word falls below, but I have that down pretty excellent now.

   Brilliant resource for student nurses! Clear, concise, simple to read. Compact, doesn’t add much more consequence to the already overburdened book bag.

   I proposed to buy this for my NCLEX review but it was so biased with in rank (though not a terrible thing) that I do not know how to use it. I finished up buying a more simplified review book that i was able to use. it really is proposed for RNs, especially if you are working in a sickbay already, not for review.
