This is both a terrific introduction and a serious deepening of wound care for the healthcare professional. Physicians: never mind that it is not authored by fellow physicians. It is obviously authored by real-world clinical experts with a passion for mixing the right amount of scientific underpinning with generous portions of "here's how you do it" down-to-earth grittiness. I am a physician who is trained in both surgery and infectious disease, and I would trust myself in the authors' care anytime -- whether as student or as patient. No one writes this clearly or lays out a book this thoughtfully without having the rare "right stuff".
I am using this to try to get my WOCN certification, but even if I don't succeed I feel I have gotten a lot of good information from this book. I think this is a good reference for any nurse with an interest in wound care.
As a physician doing long term care, I can say that this book has been very helpful in evaluating and treating wounds. Incidentally, your prices for medical text books almost always beats the original publishers, even with medical discounts.
Had to buy for the WOCN certification program. Had a few areas where I felt it wasn't totally clear however overall it is an excellent book. If you going for the WOCN certification try finding the other textbook they reference material from.
Don't give Ruth Bryant too much credit. The real nurses that did the work and research to make this book possible are some of the best wound care nurses this country has to offer. I would suggest finding anything by C. Tod Brindle. [...]
I actually liked this book better than the yellow book that most people recommend using (granted I have both). I found this very helpful to study for my CWS along with the usual yellow wounds book.
Has a lot of useful information. It's been 20 years since I was in college so text books are boring for the most part, that hasn't changed. This one was just recently updated this year, so the publish date is 2012. If taking a WOC nurse certification course, I recommend this book. For recertification for WOCN, probably read the one you already have.
Not finished reading the whole book but it has good information that will stick with me and my work. I have several books of Ruth Bryant
