Modules for
Basic Nursing Skills Vol 1 and Vol 2 Janice
Rider, Rn Ellis, et al / Paperback / Published 1996; Studyworld Choice Award
as the best clinical reference for the CPNE; excellent descriptions of procedures (even
the very basic ones) with lots of good illustrations of the procedure and equipment; pages
are perforated and 3-hole-punched so you can tear out the ones that apply to the areas of
care and place them in a special "CPNE Study Binder" for quick reference. Every
single procedure for each area of care is included in one of the two volume set!! There
are several procedures included that you won't need to know for the CPNE, but you will
need to know how to hang blood as an RN, won't you? These books are about $30 each
(cheaper than a set of videos!) But, for those of you who think this is too much to spend,
try the Springhouse reference below:
