This review is from: Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants: A Humanistic Approach to Caregiving (Paperback)
I purchased this book to gain information about becoming a CNA and I'm very glad that I did. After searching the internet about CNA job info, I found this book to be the most informative and useful with regards to actual duties and responsibilities of a CNA.

Textbook Review,
This review is from: Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants: A Humanistic Approach to Caregiving (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)
I received the book in a timely fashion. However, the description - when ordering - did not mention that the CD was not included. Chose this seller because of the description of the book's condition and the idea that the CD also was available. Otherwise, satisfied with my purchase. I will definitely use this book seller again.
