5.0 out of 5 stars Graet Book for Nurses Assistant and Caregivers, September 11, 1999
By A Customer
I am a Certified Nurses Aide, and I have read this book 3 times already. I am now taking notes. This book gives a lot of case studies, and easy to read instructions. This book has helped me to keep up to date on what is happening in the Health Care Field. It is also helping me with my course in becoming a Certified Medical Coding Specialist. The Appendix consisting of Medical terms, etc. is helpful to all who want to know how to understand medical jargon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to become a CNA?, June 22, 2006
By Stephanie Bailey (Buena Vista, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a wonderful guide to get you on your way to becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. This is a wonderful career to have in the medical field. Helping people as a CNA is extremely rewarding.

Even if you're not looking to become a CNA, this book has excellent information for anyone who is in a caregiving situation. It has information ranging from infant care to elderly care.

I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to pursue a career in the healthcare field or anyone who has someone they take care of.
