Summary: Succinct but detailed and pocket sized and handy to have!
Comment: 5 straight forward chapters detailing key elements of ward working. Some chapters may seem like `common sense' i.e `know who your patients are' but a good reminder of the basics.
This book is very black and white, blunt at times yet informative with no room for misunderstandings.
Whilst some information you would expect the qualified Nurse to know, (integrated care pathways and interviewing the patient), but for newly qualifieds or those lacking experience / confidence there is lots of information on the `basics' - observations, monitoring etc with abbreviations explaining what they mean and why they are used.
Excellent sections detail all major anatomical and physiological systems in the body detailing features, common disorders, treatments and appropriate nursing care. A well documented section on pharmacology covers topics such as the misuse of drugs act, injection sites for S/C's and I/M's and for the totally inexperienced details of drug classification and warning signs of possible poisoning.
An ideal guide for all Nurses, and the size means it can be carried around with ease, a good handbag size to pull out and read on breaks.

Summary: Survival guide for any nurse!!!!!!!
Comment: This is a fantastic book for not only nurses but also student nurses. It covers everything that you need to know from, procedures such as ECG's and Urine Tests, to a section decidated to Pharmacology. As well as having in depth details on numerous procedures and drugs the book also contains a section on systems such as the renal and nervous systems for example. These are then broken into sections containing illnesses/problems and why they occur, and the nursing care required. The book also covers a large amount of A and P, and would be excellent for the Specfic Health Needs and Individual Health Needs module due to the amount of information it contains. The book it self is also small which I find great as you can pop it in your bag and use it to refer whist on placement. I know several other student nurses who have brought this book and also rave about it and would strongly reccomend it.

Summary: Invaluable
Comment: Found this book great. It's small so easy to take to placement and has tons of information from Asthma to Parenteral nutrition. It's like a more informative mini dictionary. I found it money well spent.
