if you're required to buy this book, use your med-surg book to supplement. there's not enough detail in parts of the book.

A good resource to start with but sometimes too tedious with detail. Video resources might do students more good. I can't read about hemodynamics & make much sense of it. Need to see it or get hands-on... The limitations of a textbook I suppose.

Didn't go into a lot of detail so some concepts were difficult to grasp..
