Praise for Taylor's Skills book!Having gone through nursing school (graduated May 2010 RN now), I was always annoyed at the lack of good skills books on the market. We had to use Potter and Perry through school. P & P wasn't a bad book per se, it was just TOO MUCH INFO! I know, I know, how can too much info be a bad thing? Well, when you fall asleep halfway through reading a skill, that's how. And the lack of pictures was annoying too. Enter Taylor's...fantastic! It is written in such a smooth manner, you will feel like someone is standing next to you, walking you through everything. It is up to date, there are a plethora of pictures, AND you get an access code to watch certain skills online! The layout is perfect, the pages are not paper thin like P & P, and it's a sturdy book. The only complaint I have is that the accompanying CD is bound in the inside front cover. The publisher should put it in the back in the future. You have to cut out the CD package to get the book to fully open up. Kind of annoying, but, that's really the only complaint I have. I am beyond pleased.
This book is helpful and has good illustrations, but some skills or details of skills are missing or are not clear... but if anyone wants the video portion, you might want to try going toSADDLEBACK.edu Assisted Living for All.LEARNERSTV look up nursing and medical. MANY excellent teaching skills videos.Also, youtube has a lot of excellent videos... try HAWKNURSE channelor NURSECENTRAL on youtube just to name a few.There are about 152 videos there which are excellent and show similar techniques to the Taylor book. I had the Taylor text for classes, but would not highly recommend the videos as they tried to ad extra story lines and jokes and you really don't want to hear or see those when you are watching it for the second time or want just the facts in a straightforward way that won't distract or waste you precious time. The drama gets a bit tiring the second time around.
I used this text for my ASN from Excelsior College and could not have been happier. This text, along with the accompanying Clinical Skills Checklists Workbook, was invaluable to teaching clinical nursing skills needed to pass the CPNE.I can honestly say that, not only were these two texts extremely useful during my training & education, but that I will use these texts to further clarify & develop my nursing skills.
YES. YES. A thousand times yes. When you first start out nursing school, this book is essential in learning skills. The step-by-step pictures/instructions really do help when you're trying to figure out how to insert a foley in theory, obviously once you start doing stuff on the floor things will be a bit different. But having a not-so-foggy picture of what's going down is a great thing.
Let's face it - that Taylor textbook is HEAVY. In fact, I stuck it on my bathroom scale and it weighed in at 20 lbs. It seems ridiculous to carry that thing to lab just in case I need to reference a couple of skills. This paperback, lighter weight book is the perfect lab reference. It shows some of the skills in more detail than the core text. It has the same line-by-line justification for each action and includes "what if" scenarios. I used this for my first semester nursing skills class much more often than I cracked the core text. Highly recommended.
This was a required book for one of my nursing courses. I found it really helpful. There are tons of pictures and step by step instructions for all of the skills we had to learn for the class. I would recommend.
Wow, I scored this book brand new with an unused code and sealed disc for free at a local student bookstore near a community college! They buy and sell books, but this book was sitting in a cart with a sign saying "free!" Already skimming through the book I can see great illustrations with a thorough description of action and rationale to each skill. I definitely will be using this to supplement my studies once I get accepted into nursing school!
STUDENTS: Buy your books from before buying them at your college. This book I purchased came with the CD and online code. Don't give your money away to your college. They get plenty from you to begin with!
