I am using this textbook for a CNA course. I looked it over before registering for the class and the textbook attracted me to the course. It is colorful, well-organized, and thorough. I was impressed with the range of topics covered and variety of ways material is presented and re-enforced. The study aides and headings are easy to use and it is easy to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who will be working with the elderly in a long-term care setting.

This book was brand new! It was delivered on time. It was the first time I ever ordered course material on and the price was great and the condition eben better. I will be ordering from more often!

I used this book for my nursing assistant class. It was a lot of information! It has good techniques and good examples of the skills needed to know to be a CNA. I didn't read the entire book, but mainly what was required for my exam. Some of the pictures were a little outdated but that's not a big problem.

This workbook reinforced much of the material in the textbook. I found it to be very helpful in preparing for the exam.
