Essentials for Today's Nursing Assistant, Special Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this book to study for my CNA license. The book covers much more than just information for your CNA license; from making beds to making a resume and everything in between. The pictures are black and white but you can still clearly see what is going on in them. I think that after I complete the book I will be more than ready to take my exam and have more medical knowledge than I bargained for, which is great!
