2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive and common sense, November 9, 1999

A friend of mine bought me this book, knowing, that as a nurse, I am a nursing book junkie. I found this book elementary and repetitive. Many of the tips and suggestions were common sense. I was disappointed by this one.

This review is from: 1,001 Nursing Tips & Timesavers (Paperback)

While this book might give some helpful tips for brand new student nurses, 2 weeks on the floor will do the same as the book. I spent 2 hours skimming the book and learned about 2 new things. Some tips were dangerous/illegal/harmful to patient--take this one--while finding a vein for blood draws mark the spot with your fingernail (digging it into the patient, I guess) and you'll be all set, it also prepares the patient for what the stick of the needle feels like! (like they need to be jabbed twice). Half the tips were not even practical, some of these nurses must only have 2 patients to have the time to use these tips. I'm not making charts and laminating patient education booklets in my free time and not getting paid for it. If you are even thinking about buying this book here's my tip for you--find the most experienced nurse on your floor, follow them for a shift, and watch everything they do. You'll learn more from them than this book, I guarantee it.
