Better Than My Textbook!!

I have another book for my Practical Nursing Program, and actually, it is an RN book, but my instructor will read from it, and say "PN, this is what YOU do". A total waste of time, but then, I remembered that about 5 years ago, I purchased Dewit's Fundamental Concepts and Skills for Nursing, and when I pulled it out last night, I said "Eureka!" Now, I will use this textbook as the main source at home, while I humor my professors and bring their piece of junk to class. Now, I made it my business to order the study guide, because it will be better for me! Order this book, future practical nurses! It will make your life easier!

Super and informative book!

I am currently using this book in my LPN program. I have found it easy to read, informative, and thorough. It has rationales for each skill it includes along with detailed instructions and pictures. There are questions at the end of each chapter. The workbook is excellent for extra study and test preparation. The workbook includes matching, fill in the blank, medical vocabulary, as well as critical thinking exercises. I am very happy that our instructors went with this particular book!
