This review is from: Nursing Assisting: Essentials of Long-Term Care (Paperback)
Am currently using this text to teach a nurse aide training course. Very good. Obvious it was written be a Long Term Care Nurse who has been there and done that! The material is to the point with just the right amount of technical information. Find it useful for the more advanced students as well as those who still need to get a GED.
