Not happy the book store put stickers on it like 6 ...
This is what I needed for my class. Not happy the book store put stickers on it like 6 stickers and wrote on it and didn't send the CD that goes with it. I tried getting all the stickers off but didn't want to damage book. Other then that it serves its purpose. And it doesn't look like the photo posted

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2011

Just about anything you could ever need to lookup is neatly organized in this handy, space saving reference book.
As this is my 1st Taber's I really can't say how different/updated it actually is from previous versions, and I haven't delved too deeply into the online/smartphone app companions...
What I do know is that this is a MUST for Nsg. school - the extra weight in my book-bag everyday is worth the ability to cross-reference terms presented in our textbooks on the fly.
The BEST thing about Taber's is how helpful it is in clinicals. Don't understand what the Dr. just said about your patient's condition? Taber's is there to demystify.
I love how comprehensive it is and the ranges of terminology covered. I've also been able to find clarifications on "non-medical" terms I've come across in my studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very good medical dictionary. A bargain now.

Got to love Taber's. I know we're all going to online info but the book is very helpful and VERY accurate. It will pay for itself in saved time very quickly. AND, in a pinch it will fit in your backpack (it does weigh a couple pounds though). If you need the most current edition, its still not expensive. But if you can work with something a few years old, the 21st edition is a bargain. I got mine new for under $10 shipped, used is even less. Fyi, if you haven't used Taber's before JSUK: the pages are VERY thin (to keep the weight down they use what looks like onionskin paper). You need some finger dexterity to use & even then it can be a pain.

Package of Tabers Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Thumb-indexed Version + Taber sPlus DVD), 21st Edition + Nursing Health Assessment, 2nd Edition
In a family of nurses, a great deal of advice and argument goes on about medical references. In the ever changing, improving new ones with all sorts of media available, it becomes more of a choice out there. Tabors Medical Dictionary is one that seems to find agreement with everyone. In spite of all the new and valuable data out there, this legendary standard is still proven to be the handiest, most concise, and most useful volume on the shelf. Now that if offers a CD version, it will be doubly useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013

The Version 21 book has great illustrations and reading the text on the page, rather than a screen, I found helps to reinforce your memory of the terminology.

The CD which came with the package only runs when it is in the CD Drive, you cannot copy it or load it onto a
computer, so it is slow. The online version you must subscribe or upgrade to it for additional annual cost, the last time I checked. The CD is no longer offered, a mobile version is available now. Having the book itself is all you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars I needed something I could read more easily than my small print Tabers
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014
Verified Purchase
I needed something I could read more easily than my small print Tabers, and having the enlarged print option is wonderful. Even though I am a retired R.N. now, I refer to it often. It helps keep me current on new things in the medical field, and it is user friendly and up to date. The price wasn't too bad either considering all the information it holds, and of course the ease of carrying it around instead of the hard cover book is an added plus. Having it along on my last vacation was handy a couple of times also when I wished to learn more about exposure to ebola, for instance as well as other conditions to which one could possibly be exposed, precautions, incubation times, etc. Not only refreshing my mind on those things one doesn't hear about often, plus putting one's mind at ease when away from home and away from regular doctors. Thanks for providing this book!

I am a first year nursing student, currently enrolled in my first course. Taber's Encyclopedic Medical Dictionary has been such a help with my studies! I keep my Taber's with me when studying and to use in class, in case I do not know a word. It is very easy to use and is also helpful for nursing diagnoses. I originally planned on selling this book at the end of my nursing education, but I now plan on keeping to use for any future references.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best refence guide for all things medical
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2012
Verified Purchase
Tabers is the gold standard to check on everything from lab values to word part meanings; also has assessment tools in back. I used it constantly in nursing school & now leave it at work (LPN) as a reference guide to refresh my memory when I come across something I haven't seen in a while. Don't forget to check out all the charts in the back of this book they are extremely useful! Never used the CD. So, consider buying it without the CD to save money.

World class medical dictionary at an unimaginably rock bottom price. It has everything. This voluminous book in its 2800+ pages packs wealth of highly comprehensible information for professional and laymen alike. A COMPLETE Medical Dictionary. If your home does'nt have a Taber's you are missing something.
