Good buy, little too basic for the money. Book quality is great and will last a long time if used, unfortunately I have not had a need to use it yet. I would say this is more for a surgical nurse that needs to know more around pharmacology etc. Would like more working information around back table or mayo set ups, D&C, Lap Chole, T&A, Thyroidectomy etc to get a new Surg Tech comfortable with basics in situ.

I am a Surgical Technologist and bought this as a backup guide for my job. It is very basic but a great resource for those working in the OR.

I love it. small and convenience, I am a student and I'm on clinicals fits perfectly in my pocket good to use reference

This book has helped me learn my role in the OR setting.

Very helpful and condensed. To the point and accurate.

Perfect size book. Has tons of information

Has all of the necessary information in an easy to read format in the perfect size notebook. Has been so helpful!

On time! Perfect size .
