Clinical Nursing Skills Basic to Advanced

The book is very good, step by step instructions with pictures on performing very simple skills to performing very advanced skills. There wasn't a lot of information on trach suctioning though.

Better than many other skills books

This is an excellent book! I have other skills books but find I prefer this one hands down. Many times I find myself reading this when I'll say to myself "wow, that is a very important concept or clinical alert regarding this skill but other books did not clue me in on it." Also, the photos are excellent and it is a very well organized and comprehensive book. I don't think you'll be sorry for the investment because it is so helpful whether you are just learning or are already practicing.

Very satisfied.

I ordered a book from them on Thursday and Received the book Saturday morning. The packaging was great and I would definitely order more books from them. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Great Resource and Worth the Money

This volume presents skills from very basic to very complex which will be used in a variety of clinical settings. This volume is probably not something a novice would snap up because of the price, but it a reference that every practicing nurse would want on the shelf - novice or expert. The pictures include current equipment. The steps of the procedure are detailed and include safety tips and equipment needed. Good idea for the student's special Christmas present or the nurses' station.

Pictures are informative and all around great book

I really enjoy reading this book and looking at the pictures of procedures being done on patients. I am entering an LPN program soon and I feel that this book will be a great asset to me during my studies and throughout my career. Much recommended to anyone interesting in the nursing profession.
