A nurse needing review
345540
I am stationed with my husband overseas. I am not able to work during this deployment. I was worried that I would lose some of my medical knowledge. I bought this book to help me review and to add to my knowledge base. This book is great. Unlike nursing school, this book is simple. It gives you the basics of the disease process and the nursing and medical interventions. This book comes with a CD. You can  use the review mode or quiz mode. This book is worth the money. Whether you are a nursing student or practicing nurse, this book is a great education tool.

As nurse in a teaching hospital, I was convinced surgeons have a tough life. They may make a large amount of money, but the highs and lows of their profession makes you think twice before ever considering that type of job. Definitely an eye opener.

We needed it to have a physical assessment of the patient.  Youtube had to do.  It is an organized video.

I am surprised that you are asking for a review.  I ordered this item several weeks ago and I have not yet received it.  Apparently, there is a problem in the order/evaluation/shipment process

Any new nurse or nurse student needs to read this book.  It gives you great insight as to being a new nurse.  Our 4th teacher recommended this book to us as we were finishing our 3rd level to get us thinking about the difference between nursing school and the real world nursing and how frightening it can be as a new nurse, after you graduated.  I am in 4th level now and I can't tell you how many times she wants us to refer back to this book to learn how to approach different things that come up in the clinical setting.  I have truly enjoyed each chapter.  The first 1 or 2 chapters might start off a little slow but my advice to you is to keep reading because it is great.

I always took nurses for granted.  Apparently most everyone else did/does as well.
This book reveals that although doctors get the respect in hospital food chains, it's the nurses that have more to do with keeping patients alive and returning them back to health.  They do this without a lot of respect from hospital administration nor even their own nurse managers.  It takes very special people to work as nurses in hospitals while maintaining a positive attitude and caring enough to keep sick and injured patients alive.
I have a new found respect for nursing profession and those who practice it.

Great book. Interesting, educative and very resourceful for nurses and non- nurses. I call it a great healthcare customer service material

This book contains an amazing story about one woman's struggle to keep her husbands health, wellbeing and dignity as a priority rather than "going along with the flow".  This highlights why anyone going into a health care facility for a surgery, a procedure, or a Rehab. experience should have someone to advocate for them.  This book helps identify the "how to " Stand  in the Way,  how to ask for what the patient needs rather than what is easiest for the facility to provide.  This book gives family and friends permission to ask question about a loved one progress in treatment, options to choose what would benefit recovery, and ways to hold the medical care team accountable for the delivery of health care that meets current Standards of Practice.  What I found to be the most important thing an advocate can do is to ensure that patients are treated as an individual and not the broken hip in room  302.

Love the insight to a nurses world. The things that they figure out once they are on the job. It is a very honest account of occurances that nurses have face.

This book is a must for all nurses. She has a sense of humor, irony and she tells it as it is.  Nurses out there we have all met those of us that have recall, memory, use logic and autonomy, and have met those who do not possess what it is to be a nurse, just do their shift. It was no different in 1860!. Buy it!

Not ideal for nursing as there is zero support

Bought for my daughter as she was taking Nursing Classes. Don't recall if it was new or used. I plan on taking this book to the local Goodwill Store since we no longer need it.
