hi nurseangie! Thanks for posting that book. Could you tell me who the author is? I also just wanted to add that I ordered a book that is great. It is called, "Just the Facts- A Pocket Guide to Basic Nursing." It is by Ronnie Peterson. It has everything you need (facts, calculations, abbreviations, anatomy,measurements, etc.) It is perfect to pop in your pocket for clinicals.
I guess the author info. woulf help, huh??? Sorry:D
There are many contributors to the book (many of whom I recognize from Nursing Mag.), so no author on the cover.
The publisher is Springhouse and my copy is the 3rd edition. (The ISBN: 0-87434-850-1 ) I orederd mine from the Nurses Station, but I 'll bet you can find it elsewhere.
I have found several good things (tips on how to do things and make things for patient use in order to save them money on supplies, etc...). I think the book cost a little too much (around $22, I think) , but you never know when you can use it to make your nursing life a little simpler. :)

I just received a book that I ordered and I have already found a lot of useful information in it. It's titled 1001 Nursing Tips and Timesavers. Some chapters include: Staff information, The patient, Emergencies, Collecting Specimens, etc... . I think this book will prove valuable to both student and practicing nurses and is a great addition to your professional library. I can't wait to read the whole text!
