mosby's nursing assistant manual

I teach nursing aids and this is the manualI use with my students. excellent manual and my students use also the workbook.

very thick textbook

Wow, if i would have gotten a textbook this thick when i was going to CNA classes, i would have been pissed since the class was only four weeks, that would have meant that i would have to cram all that info into my brain in such a short amount of time. anyway, its a good book containing actual photos, i skimmed through it a little and found that this could also be used for the instructor as well as the student, so anyway,this is a good book to have even after you get your certification,i also purchased the workbook, but have not looked it over yet.

A lot of Helpful Information

The book was perfect for the class I took. It had great details into everything we covered. The workbook was an awesome study tool for the tests and the Michigan state exam.
