This is required reading for my class and it’s helpful. It would have been extremely helpful if it had sample SOAP notes to go with each section.

I am an NP student and use this book a lot to write my SOAP notes for class. I love how it also includes interventions for each of the diagnosis

Book required for graduate nursing course. Didn’t disappoint! Especially helpful with formulating the differential diagnoses in the care plan. Really didn’t want to return it because I liked it so much! Will look for a gently used copy for my own use.
