Product Description
For a separate nursing skills course or fundamentals and medical surgical nursing courses. A perfect compliment to Kozier, Fundamentals of Nursing, Concepts, Process, and Practice. For new graduates, or as a reference for practicing nurses in hospitals and health care settings. This text reflects the needs of today's diverse student population. It provides the most complete preparation for the clinical challenges students will encounter in the workplace, offering nearly 200 techniques in a step-by-step format. For each technique, a rationale is provided for the critical steps. In addition, several learning tools foster assessment skills and encourage critical thinking. It is also useful for those involved in caring for clients in the home.

 Excellent for new Student Nurses August 6, 2006
Easy to read, techniques are broken down for easy mastering. Excellent book overall.

I can't give this five stars yet because I haven't used it per se in actual client care as I have just completed my first semester of nursing school. I have enjoyed reading it very much due to its organization though I wish it was just a book of implementations only for quick reference as to the how to's and order of's like page 352 on inserting a NG tube. But there are plenty of pages like this so it's great!
While it's true you can find most of this information in the Kozier textbook, I think it is more important in the long run to have this book over the main textbook for your work as a nurse. You can't lug around that heavy textbook to search for the procedures mixed in with so much reading. This book has this information in a nice reference that you could carry with you to clinical or bettter yet, study the night before/in between clinicals. I like this book all the more because I don't like studying from giant textbooks (and wish all of them were divided into at least 4 sections for easy portability to classes and easy and comfortable studying!) Good luck future nurses!
Soar!
 Buy the Fundamentals of Nursing Instead October 8, 2005

In general, this clinical book is *exactly* the same as the Fundamentals of Nursing: Concepts, Process, and Practice, 7th edition. You will find word for word passages from the Fundamentals book in the clinical one.
The plus side to purchasing the clinical book is that it has more pictures and is a bit more concise in true 'clinical' information. If, however, you are on a very tight budget then skip the clinical book and put your money into a good 7th edition copy.
