I got this for detailed reference since i wanted to refresh my memory on certain skills and other things, i've been working in an assisted living facility for a year now, and you can really forget some skills working in one of these places, anyway, i just got the book today and was reading over it, and it seems to have some very good info, much better than the book that was given to me when i was going to the CNA classes, it's easy to read and understand, but does not have the appearence of something that a child would read, like my other CNA textbook did, it also has multible choice questions at the end of each chapter with the answers in the back of the textbook, so this can also be used by the instructor, i have not watched the enclosed CD yet though, but i'm sure its worth a watch,all in all, the book is worth the forty bucks, even if you are not interested in being a CNA, the info in it can be useful.
Everyone in my class bought the 4th edition of this book. However, the material is very similar despite the chapters being slightly off. Somethings in the 4th edition were given their own chapter. However, the 3rd edition has just as much current and up to date information. If you want a cheaper version of a new edition this book may be a low cost option for anyone low on cash who wants to start a CNA program or even study for the exam on their own. Very thorough and informative.
If you are taking the CNA Class for certification this is very helpful. It comes with a CD but I haven't listened to it so I'm not sure what is on it. Most colleges don't ask you to buy the workbook with this book so if you are shopping, this will be all you need unless instructed differently.
I purchased this off a while back. I used this as well as some other materials and was able to pass my class. When it came time for my state exam I completed the computer portion in half the allowed time with more than 90 out of 100 questions answered correctly.
This text is the best source to study for CNA training. The video and workbook is completely on tract for obtaining a CNA certification. You can't go wrong with this choice and the price is outstanding.If you are not training for CNA it still gives you great training and insight for nursing. I would rate it 100%.
I know I was buying a used book, however I did not expect to see all the pencil markings throughout the book. I have compared it with other used books in my class and those books are in better condition compared to the one I purchased and the price is the same.Disappointed because of my expectation on things I buy.
This was the textbook required for my classes. Simple to read with useful tests and information highlights. Illisrations were good
This book is absolutely great. It has extremely helpful review questions with the answers in the back to quiz yourself. Highly recommend it!
