this site is FABULOUS and FREE! it has most any procedure u can think of, just be careful if your school teaches some things a different way, for example they teach IM injections by a different method than we used.

Thank you very much for all your help! I'll try the websites. By the way, I heard that there's a clinical skills book by Potter & Perry and I heard good stuff about it. Does anybody know if it comes in video? What about Clinical skills by Mosby? The book we'll be using is Medical-Surgical Nursing by Lewis & Dirksen. I tried to search information re: clinical skills but I forgot where I found it. I think it was under Evolve or Elsevier?...

Our school uses Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques (5th ed) by Perry & Potter & it is great. I don't know about the video, but the isbn # is 0-323-01406-2

Thank you for the info! I'll make sure to look in on that. I also noticed that at my clinical, the hospital staff were using Potter and Perry as well. So I think that means that it IS a great book afterall:p .

Thank you for the information on the skills video. I'll make sure to check with Amazon regarding those CDs. As a matter of fact, I just ordered books from Amazon and I'm surprised that they arrived on time. I wished that I would've done that for my first semester when instead, I purchased my books through half.com and didn't get my Nanda until school was almost over. :o
