I used Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants over twenty years at a high school nursing program. When it came time to reorder new books, my colleague and I would review other nursing assistant text books. No other publication came close to identifying clearly the salient points of skill procedures, patent dignity, cleanliness and safety than Shella Sorrento's nursing assistant text books.
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!
This book covers all aspects of nursing assistants duties. It also is very indepth with explaining anatomy covers diseases along with nutrition. Its a great reference book for all nursing assistants to read up on.
I was slightly leery of ordering a used textbook, but, this was a steal compared to the school bookstore. Yes there was some highlighting, annotating, and some of the questions were already answered, but it certainly doesn't alter my way of reading a textbook. Excellent!
This textbook is probably my number one source for information in my CNA course. It teaches you the essentials and the discs are great for getting the skills down. The images that accompany the chapters are also very informative and definitely intriguing.
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.
Well organized information, review test at the end of each chapter helps remember the information. Covers all topics possible and hopefully I will do well on the state test. I am told 2 students after using this textbook scored 100% on their Florida CNA test.
