Customer Reviews

Most comprehensive Operating Room text there is.

I used Berry & Kohn's Operating Room Technique in nursing school 26 years ago and it is STILL the best text there is about perioperative nursing. This text ranges from basic Aseptic Technique to the more complex surgical procedures. Positioning, procedures, and practice guides make this a must have for anyone in the field of surgery, whether they are a surgical tech, an RN, or an educator. I use it in planning inservices for staff development.

Great Seller!

I would definitely recommend this seller. Fast service and item just as stated. Thanks.

This is a great book

I have been a surgeons puppy dog for many years now. I worked in the OR before I went to medical school, then mainly took all surgery electives. This book helped when the discussion of positioning, the background, overview, and has pictures. I will use it next year when I am a surgical intern also. I only recommend to those who are serious about surgery or who have the money to get it during med school and have an active surgical core clerkship.

There's no "con" to Berry and Kohn

I found this book indispensible in studying to become an operating room nurse. I have been a registered nurse for 25+ years and have not found a book more helpful than this in learning a new aspect of nursing. It shares tables, pictures, boxes of interesting notes and even websites and search engines to make learning more fun and interesting. Don't go into the operating room without it. This is no con!
