 Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants - Textbook and Workbook Package July 20, 2008

 mosby's nursing assistant manual June 26, 2008
I teach nursing aids and this is the manualI use with my students.
excellent manual and my students use also the workbook.
very thick textbook May 4, 2008
Wow, if i would have gotten a textbook this thick when i was going to CNA classes, i would have been pissed since the class was only four weeks, that would have meant that i would have to cram all that info into my brain in such a short amount of time. anyway, its a good book containing actual photos, i skimmed through it a little and found that this could also be used for the instructor as well as the student, so anyway,this is a good book to have even after you get your certification,i also purchased the workbook, but have not looked it over yet.

I first must say I could be biased with this review as I have only read the first chapter. I bought this book as it was a requirement for a class I had to take. What I could say after reading the first several pages was this was poorly written. I'm not criticizing the content, but the writing. Everything is too choppy, making it very difficult for to read. Very poor flow of words. Some grammatical errors as well.
