No School Nurse should be without it!

This is a book that every School Nurse should have. It is a constant resource for your everyday practice. The book is very large, but there is so much information in it, that I can't see cutting anything out to reduce the size. If you are a school nurse or even thinking about becoming a school nurse, this is a must have!

School Nursing Comprehensive Text

An excellent resource text for school nursing - very extensive and well written with the most up to date information regarding the history and practice of school nursing.

A must-have for every school nurse!

Had been reading the hype about this book coming out and could not wait to get a copy. Did get it here for a little less that list price but what a deal. The most comprehensive text to date on School Nursing. A must have for every school nurse without a doubt. And this author is publishing a School Nurse Certification Review that is due out in July 2008, cannot wait to search for it here to save some dough!
