I found these DVD's very helpful in the beginning of my nursing courses. The practical side of nursing is very scary at first, and you have very few opportunities to practice before working with real patients. Also, nursing instructors can be less than understanding if you completely forget how to do something, not to mention embarrassing yourself in front of the patient. Our college also had simulation competencies that had to be passed. The videos were very helpful with that. Another thing they came in handy for was our "labs." Whether our lab was going to be on wound care, assessment, injections, etc; there was almost always a video that would help me prepare for it. I would highly recommend these videos to any starting nursing students looking to increase their confidence and skills.

This was a required part of our "book box" at my college. What a piece of overpriced ... stuff. The pricing is insane, and the skills shown aren't any big deal. save your money. FWIW, once you buy this, you can't sell it back to amazon either. what a rip.

i am a visual learner and having skills on video that i could review at my own leisure was amazing. it really helped and i
'm happy to report i just graduated and am now a brand new nurse!

A lot of these same skills can be seen on youtube for free. Try Hawknurse.
Just look up a skill and there are usually many to choose from, some better
explained than others, but I found them to be better than some videos we
had to purchase for our classes.

These videos were alright for the first semester of nursing school to get an idea of basic tasks but I couldn't stand all the remote control clicking that had to be done to access the additional information, questions, etc. These videos should of come with a book or something. It aggravated me to the point that I stopped using the videos altogether.

I ordered on the 11th, received my package on the 14th! Shipping was fast, price was well below other sites and also lower than my bookstore! I recommended this to other friends in need of books. I haven't opened it yet but it is new in package so I am assuming I will have no problems.

Amazon is a ripoff. I would have gotten a better deal at my campus bookstore. I will NEVER shop here again!!!
