Hi, I posted the same question to the student nurse forum: I'm a French nurse needing to study for work in Australia. I am looking for good books to study clinical pracitices. The ones I'm considering are: For general study: Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, by Perry and Potter or... Clinical Nursing Skills: Basic to Advanced Skills, by Smith et. al. For a pocket guide: Rnotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide (Rnotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide), by Myers or... Mosby's Pocket Guide to Basic Skills and Procedures, 6th Edition, by Perry I've read A Nurse's Survival Guide to the Ward, to familiarize myself with English descriptions and so forth, but now need to go a bit more in depth, and would very much appreciate any recommendations and/or help deciding which books to get, if anyone is familiar with these or similar books. A friend is visiting from the US next week, so I want to very quickly send a couple books to her house to bring with her. Thanks for any help you can offer, Chloe
