      My granddaughter got a job in surgery. I am a retired nurse but worked in surgery for 42 years. My grand child said it was very helpful to her and continues to be all the time.

      The pictures of each instrument could be followed by its name underneath, instead of a big description of 6 or more instruments in one single subtitle. A deeper description of its function would be also useful.

      Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2018
      Verified Purchase
      The information in the book is ok. There are more pics and info you can get off the internet once you understand the types of instruments.
      What I hate about the book is the spiral bind. The book has to be handled with care or the page tears off. Like seriously! Why do they even make a spiral bind for books at all?

      3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but not the best..
      Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2016
      Verified Purchase
      Was really excited to get this book as I was beginning a clinical in the OR. For the very basics the book was helpful, however I wish it would have shown more up close pictures of the tips of instruments, as well as the teeth of them.
      I wound up returning the book for a different one because I did not find it as useful as I had hoped it would be.

      This book is okay, I got it for my OR course. But, It doesn't give the kind of detail I would like on the instruments and to be honest, I generally just ended up using the internet to look up specific instruments and get a close up.
