Contemporary Practical/Vocational Nursing

This was a very informative book for the person looking to become or already an L.V.N. The books primary focus is on getting the reader to understand the duties and functions of an L.V.N. It covers a broad spectrum of topics such as, the history of nursing, nursing process, legal and ethical issues, and communicating and caring for patients to name a few. This book was an A+. It was well worth my time.
