This book was a lifesaver for me while taking Surgical Nursing. Everything is explained really well and gives the reader the information they need to be a confident surgical assistant. Some of the information overlaps with Anesthesia and Analgesia for Veterinary Technicians, but who couldn't use a little repetition? There are also great images to show you exactly how to preform tasks such as sterile gloving, folding gowns, patient positioning. I recommend this book for anyone that wants a formal education on surgical nursing in the veterinary industry.
this book is pretty neat for the subject...however i wish my class would have been split better. when you talk about anesthesia and analgesia and the prepping it's hard that the drugs and the prepping part are not separated. It has very good information and pictures and description. However some of the stuff it's like all cramped together. Then again I think it's all how my teacher is teaching the class. We also use the anesthesia & analgesia book for the anesthesia and surgery class/lab. Would def recommend the book, unfortunately someone of the values are different between the 2 books as to what the normal is between certain values.
I am going to school for my Veterinary Tech, I needed this book. It was a great price and even faster delivery! I originally bought the older addition, this one is much better, and I like the way it is written!
I was fortunate enough to have Marianne for a professor for a Pharmacology class. And when I heard that she had wrote a book on a class I already had, of course I was eager to seek it out. It's a wonderful book, clear with key concepts that any vet tech student will need. Marianne knows what she is talking about. I recommend this book to the fullest extent, not just because she was a professor of mine.
this book has pictures that really help you learn the material, especially the anesthetic machine.It has very good explanations, and really helps me with my surgery class
I bought this book for my surgery class. Very well written book. The pictures are a very big help especially to me. Love it!!
Had to order this book for a class, it came quickly and was in great condition. I have ordered numerous books through this site both new, used, and rented have never had a problem.
I really like that veterinary technicians will be referred to as animal nurses. This book is amazing!
