Personal Review: Wongs Nursing Care of Infants and Children
(Wongs Nursing Care of Infants and Children) by David Wilson
MS RNC

I am a BS-RN student just starting my Pedi class. This is my favorite text
yet. There is plenty of detail, and references are cited within the text. I think
it's much easier to learn and retain information if you know the "why"
behind the "what", and this text doesn't just gloss over the physiological
reasons for nursing interventions like a lot of nursing texts unfortunately
do. Thanks Dr. Hockenberry and Mr. Wilson for a great book!
