I found this book indispensible in studying to become an operating room nurse. I have been a registered nurse for 25+ years and have not found a book more helpful than this in learning a new aspect of nursing. It shares tables, pictures, boxes of interesting notes and even websites and search engines to make learning more fun and interesting. Don't go into the operating room without it. This is no con!
I used Berry & Kohn's Operating Room Technique in nursing school 26 years ago and it is STILL the best text there is about perioperative nursing. This text ranges from basic Aseptic Technique to the more complex surgical procedures. Positioning, procedures, and practice guides make this a must have for anyone in the field of surgery, whether they are a surgical tech, an RN, or an educator. I use it in planning inservices for staff development.
If you are an operating room nurse or surgical technician then this is the book for you. This has been the golden standard for information on Operating Room techniques for years. The information is accurate and reliable.
This is a great book with latest techniques, and the online resourses are also very help full.I recommend this book for OR Nurses. Ilike it.
As an LPN, this book was specifically recommended to me by my OR department manager to help me learn the basic information I needed as a scrub nurse. I have found it to be a highly valuable tool in my learning process. It has been very informative and useful as well as easy to read and includes many helpful pictures and graphs that aid in learning and comprehending the material. I know this book will also be a great asset for me in completing my RN to further my education and knowledge as an OR nurse. I would recommend this book to anyone entering the OR field of nursing! I know I will find this text an indispensable reference for many years to come! I was just wondering if there is an additional workbook that correlates with this text book?
I DO NOT recommend buying the Kindle version of this book!!! First of all, it needs an Internet connection for you to even access the book; not just to download it, but to read it! The app takes a ridiculous amount of time to load, so trying to read thhe Kindle version becomes very tedious. I regret buying this version, & honestly wish I could just trade it in for a good old-fashioned hardcover book! I'm beyond frustrated and completely disappointed =(
Please be aware that this item is not the most recent edition of this highly regarded text. The 11th edition is now out (published April, 2007) ISBN 0323044832. For whatever reason the author's name on the new edition is simply Nancymarie Phillips, in case you attempt to locate the latest edition by using the author's name. 11th edition is also available on .
This book is ok, but apparently the first section is dedicated to Surgical RN's which you won't be reading as a Surgical Tech. student. When you did get to the Surgical tech. information, I felt it could've been a little more specific in some areas.
