This is a must have for all graduate nurses and nurses new to medical surgical nursing. It is also great for the critical care nurse to brush up on skill we don't see everyday in the unit although it does contain information such as central lines, temporary pacemaker care, arrythmias and treatment, mechanical ventilation and basic hemodynamic monitoring. My only dislike is that the print is sooooo small. It does contain great illustrations and chart though. Overall it's worth the money since most of these basic procedures don't change much over time. I bought it because I've been out of nursing to raise three kids and am now going back to work. This is a great resource. The format is an alphabetical listing of procedures by name so it's very easy to find just what you're looking for quickly. Make sure you get the 7th edition though. It's the latest version. Happy reading to all my nursing colleagues!

Arrived on time and met my expectations. I write competencies for nurses in long term care settings and this was a great reference for me.

Well written. Easy to understand. I like the format. I'm a new ER nurse and this helps me to brush up on current procedures

i wanted the pdf version. but it was kindle and i do not own a kindle

Very thorough and up to date with the latest procedures!
