    If you are and OR RN, this is a great book for keeping abreast of what is happening in the Operating Room environment. It has been considered the gold standard for care of surgical patient's in the operating suite for many, many years. This book complements AORN information and will help keep you at the top of your game. If you want the best for your patients while they are in the operating room, this is a must have.

    The text itself was very familiar to me as I have had two other editions. The condition of the book was what surprised me. It apeared to be almost new! It is working well with the current continuing education project I am doing. Up to date and easy to read.

    This books seems to be really helpful. I had to buy it for a class, but feel I could perform any of these surgeries, okay, maybe not, but it will be helpful, esp if I get a job in the OR!
