I DO NOT recommend buying the Kindle version of this book!!! First of all, it needs an Internet connection for you to even access the book; not just to download it, but to read it! The app takes a ridiculous amount of time to load, so trying to read thhe Kindle version becomes very tedious. I regret buying this version, & honestly wish I could just trade it in for a good old-fashioned hardcover book! I'm beyond frustrated and completely disappointed =(
ake note that this edition is PAPERBACK. It is not a hardcover, and am disappointed. That's my fault, as I didn't see it on the page when I went back to look at it.However, this book is the Bible for perioperative care. It is an excellent resource for anyone working in the surgical realm.
This book is awesome! I'm using it to study for the CNOR exam. The AORN online prep course tells you what pages in this book correspond to the current module. I'm using it to reinforce what the modules are teaching. The book has much more in-depth information than the modules. Highly recommend it!
great study tool for CNOR exam.
For the kindle edition, the book is practical unusable on an iPad 4. The kindle application constantly freezes while trying to read and navigate. Will contact to return the book.
The text size is so ridiculously small it is difficult to read. My suggestion is to also buy magnifier if need to buy this book. So frustrating to read!!!
Very comprehensive and an awesome book
Exactly what I needed!
