5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book with Step-by-Step Explanations of procedures., July 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nursing Procedures (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book! I may not have made it through my first year of nursing school without it! Each procedure is clearly explained using photos, diagrams, and checklists.

Each procedure lists the equipment needed, implementation, special considerations and complications to look for as well as what to document after the procedure is completed.

I would recommend this book to all nursing students and nurses who are looking for a refresher guide. You won't be disappointed!

As a first year nursing student, my critical skills practice was at a self-study pace. With this book I was able to master the skills needed to give quality health care.
