Contemporary Practical/Vocational Nursing 8th Edition, Kindle Edition

Contemporary Practical/Vocational Nursing is specifically written for the LPN/LVN student to provide a basic introduction to the nursing profession with an emphasis on life-long learning, leadership skills, and career planning. While the importance of a career in nursing and the value of service to others is woven throughout the text, the focus remains on preparing students with the crucial critical thinking skills they need to transition into a successful practice. This book will prepare LPN/LVNs to fully understand the complexities of their profession, communicate effectively, work as a member of a team, confront challenges in the workplace, and move forward into leadership roles.

The eighth edition is completely updated with more NCLEX-PN-style chapter review questions, and new artwork throughout. The chapter on Leadership and Followership has been expanded to include how to approach change and conflict situations and diversification in the workplace. Contemporary Practical/VocationalNursing is the book all LPN/LVP students need to develop the practical knowledge and problem-solving skills for a successful career.

New for the LPN/LVN market in Fall 2015 is Lippincott CoursePoint, a flexible and integrated course and curriculum solution that helps faculty and students achieve success. CoursePoint for Contemporary Practical/VocationalNursing provides content in context exactly where and when students need it for a more effective learning experience. Students will be able to access a premium digital textbook for an engaging, interactive experience and take adaptive NCLEX-PN-style practice quizzes to identify strengths and weaknesses in real time and remediate immediately to relevant content.

Market research for an LPN/LVN vSim is currently underway and would be an offering for CoursePoint+ in Fall 2016.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like it!

I have to use this book for one of my nursing classes and I have to say it actually has been helpful. It helps to teach you about what getting into nursing is about beginning with your own lifestyle and how it changes due to the profession. It’s gives you great concept of what to expect in nursing and how to prepare for a test, nclex info, planning your schedule, you the student as a nurse. It’s a straightforward book and the tips it gives you can come a long way!

Book arrived earlier than I expected and is new with slight cosmetic damage, e.g., front or back cover slightly bent. For a little cosmetic damage, that I would likely have caused myself while using this book, I saved lots of $$$. Would buy again with no hesitation.
