Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants - Hard Cover Version

This amazing book is a must have for any healthcare professional. Very easy to read and to understand, loaded with photos and illustrations, it gives step-by-step instructions on over 100 healthcare procedures. With over 800 pages, a glossary section and a CD-ROM, The MOSBY'S TEXTBOOK FOR NURSING ASSISTANTS is indeed an excellent guidance system for the CNA and the regular person taking care of another. As a NURSING ASSISTANT, this very important book will ever be my point of reference.This latest edition is well updated with everything pertaining to basic and intermediate healthcare.Most highly recommend to anyone who is in this field or contemplating healthcare as a career.

It was everything I hoped for. Thank you so much.

I will be studying to be a C.N.A to R.N. I’m also going into a Paramedic course.I purchase the book early to get a head start. The book came in excellent Quality and with the CD. My class doesn’t start until January but I’m glad I have it and received it within a timely matter.

Full of information and is exactly what i was looking for. I wouldn't return the purchase for anything else. My expectations were set high and it reached them. I recommend this book for those who are seeking a career in the CNA/ Medical field.

I'm taking a CNA class before my nursing program starts up so I can start working more quickly in the field. This was the required book for the class. The materials are easy to follow, lots of pictures and step by step instructions that really focus on the knowledge and skills that will be required to pass the state examination. I would recommend this book to other nursing assistants and hope when my nursing program starts that the text books will be similar in layout and presentation.

Very good quality of book came with cd and only spent 40$ Instead of buying the new one which is like 90 this one is practically brand new as well Very impressed so recommend if your not trying to spend all that money on a book

For school

While you will learn all you need for the "written" test ( it's actually on computer), the bookdoesn't help to give you a heads up on the Skills test, taken the same day. A listing of all thesteps involved in each one, with a list of supplies needed for each would have been good.There is a CD that comes with the text that purportedly has such but the audio/visual partleaves out a lot and I found myself printing out the text for each skill from the CD. I took asix-week intensive course with only five weeks of classes (M - TH), only half of which dealtwith the skills. Ten classes, three hours each, with eight other students to learn all the 22skills was just not enough time to get the practice necessary and while my test is still morethan 3 weeks away I feel shaky on the Skills. Six days of practicum at a hospital was somewhathelpful, but the practice there while basically the same, was different enough from what thestate test calls for as to confuse and frustrate this student. Again, the text is good as far as itgoes but should give fair warning ( and advice) on the, to my mind, more important issue ofpreparing for the practice (skills): eg. schedule study sessions with your fellow students, allwhose phone numbers you have, using the classroom on campus (with permission and availabilitysecured) to practice the skills!
