I teach nursing aids and this is the manualI use with my students.excellent manual and my students use also the workbook.

The book is easy to read and understand; it has lots of pictures and presents the material in a very encouraging way. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a basic guide for those who plan to work as assisted-living or nursing home care-givers.A CD is supposed to be in the book. I am disappointed that the seller never responded to my emails about that CD being missing.

I bought this book because I'm goin to take a CNA course & everything that is in the table on content for my schooling is in this book! It's a great study/learning book. & it's easy to follow.

As a student I have found that Mosby's books are excellent sources of information and research. This book was used but in perfect condition. The seller got the book to me earlier than expected, and I will order from them again!
