5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource and Worth the Money, November 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Nursing Skills: Basic to Advanced Skills (5th Edition) (Paperback)

This volume presents skills from very basic to very complex which will be used in a variety of clinical settings. This volume is probably not something a novice would snap up because of the price, but it a reference that every practicing nurse would want on the shelf - novice or expert. The pictures include current equipment. The steps of the procedure are detailed and include safety tips and equipment needed. Good idea for the student's special Christmas present or the nurses' station.

4.0 out of 5 stars Class book, May 2, 2006

This review is from: Clinical Nursing Skills: Basic to Advanced, Sixth Edition (Paperback)

We actually use this as our lab book in class. It has procedures layed out step by step and has rationales for why you do it that way. It has been very helpful to us in class. Pretty easy to find what you're looking for, although I don't really like how they have the book divided up into sections.

I really enjoy reading this book and looking at the pictures of procedures being done on patients. I am entering an LPN program soon and I feel that this book will be a great asset to me during my studies and throughout my career. Much recommended to anyone interesting in the nursing profession.
