Review: Great seller ! Great Nursing review for procedures. - I wanted an updated book ( I have been a nurse for 8 years ) that would give me a solid review of the fundamentals as well as clinical refreshers and new knowledge. This book has been more than I had hoped for! The book is arranged alphabetically by procedure, which has made reviewing no issue. If you need a book that groups by specialty or department, then you might need to work a bit, but once again, everything is alphabetical even for searching that way. Each procedure listed is broken down into: (with great photos or sketches and/or tip boxes and charts) Procedure Equipment Preparation of equipment Implementation Troubleshooting Patient teaching Special Alerts --> Nursing, Pediatric, Elder, Hospital Accquired References I would recommend utilizing this seller if you can -- the price is unbeatable for a brand new edition (2019) Review: Looks brand new - Got this used book that looks brand new, and paid way way less than the new price. Book looks brand new, thank you!!!
