The rationale for the skills is about the only good aspect if this. Otherwise, you can buy the Fundamentals book and save yourself money. Unless your instructor INSISTS you need both, and then you're just screwed.

It's ok, gives good "play by play" on medical skills. However, it has conflicts with the hardcover book.

It will be a good resource for the final semeste placement of school, so not to be tossed.

I didn't realize I had read it until I recognized the cover and rooted it out and there it was. I didn't realize Ms Perry was an actual nurse. A sister under the skin !
