5.0 out of 5 stars excellent value, a must have for every student nurse., 4 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Bailliere's Nurses Dictionary (Paperback)
Ballieres nurses dictionary is a fountain of knowledge. Small enough to carry round with you but still has an abundance of knowledge. It is easy to follow and is an essential aid for student nurses everywhere. This dictionary also tells you how to pronounce those hard to say medical words. It comes complete with appendices and a useful section with websites to visit to help you with your studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best nurse's dictionary, 25 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Bailliere's Nurses Dictionary (Paperback)
I used this dictionary years ago when I first started nursing and have yet to find any other that comes close. It is clearly set out with everything you would expect from a dictionary aimed at a specific group - good definitions, tables, diagrams and other information. A dictionary that I will be recommending to those students in my health studies group who go on to nurse training.

5.0 out of 5 stars A god send!, 2 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Bailliere's Nurses Dictionary (Paperback)
I bought this because I am doing a reflexology course and found that some words in my anatomy and physiology books just dont make sense! This is an absolute god send, it explains words in laymans terms. I dont know what I would have done without it.
