    -AO- replied to PacoUSA's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    ZRn11, I have Bojar's book, but have held off on Hardin's. Can you compare the two? I've read Hardin's is much more nursing focused, while Bojar's is much more MD focused (seems to be the case imo)....

    -AO- replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare
