Glad to be done with this book!

This book has so much information and a lot of it is repeated over and over again. I am a current nursing student and this book makes it hard to pick out what is important and what is not. It has good information but reading the book does not help me learn the material for my class.

Detailed to the point where reading about the development stages was no longer absorbable. My instructor provided the ATI pediatrics book and it translated priority information into bullet points and tables instead of this....wall of text style textbook.

Needs updates to not marginalize queer parents and non gender conformities

Wong's is referred to by academics as the gold standard for pediatric nursing for a reason. Sure, it can be a little daunting and dry at times (not to mention that it's a beast to carry around with you throughout the day!), but this text is simple, well-written, and focuses on key components of care. The illustrations are remarkable and "red alert" tips and family teaching boxes have so helped me identify the key concepts. A great text!

A really helpful book actually. FINALLY! A book that's written with useful information that I can use. YES YES YES! It was a good resource for explanation when I didn't understand the concepts covered in lecture.

Invaluable. It's always good to get practice with a lot of questions on the content that you're studying. especially when some of them end up on the actual tests that you take in class!

I wish there were a little less matching questions and a little more multiple choice. But that's okay too.
