Hi Everyone,I will be teaching a CNA program thru my local adult ed in the Fall. Currently they have been using, Hegner's Nursing Assistant: A Nursing Approach 10th edition (2007). The director will allow the purchase of new textbooks. Does anyone have any advice they would offer me? I have been on Amazon and have read the reviews on both Lippincott and Mosby's, but I don't feel the reviews have been all that helpful to me.Thank you for any/all help.-Jenny 0 Likes
rnforforty Specializes in Infection Control, Med/Surg, LTC. Has 41 years experience. Aug 1, 2014 We're purchasing Gerlach and Hegner's 6th edition for the fall semester and while it is better than what we are now using (Hegner's 2010 edition - I'm assuming it is the first edition) I still find it has a load of non-essential information to sift through. I don't know what state you are in but in mine CNA's are not allowed to do 50% of what the book has in it. Once upon a time they could DC IV's, and foleys, and change simple dressings and do trach care on a permanent trach, and do decubitus care. Now they can't do any of that but I can't find a book without all of that stuff. 0 Likes
