nurse anesthesia,
By Dave Thomas (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nurse Anesthesia (Hardcover)
I graduated almost two years ago as a CRNA and I was second in my class. I don't consider myself stupid but I still found this book to be extreemly hard to read. Can't anyone write an anesthesia textbook that I can understand!

Good basic nurse anesthesia overview,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nurse Anesthesia (Hardcover)
This book provides a good overview of nurse anesthesia practice. Not as indepth or specific as others I've used, but it is a good starting point and excellent resource to refer back to during clinical practice.
