Amu nursing is freaking tough.
I got this recommended to me as a newly qualified nurse, I wish I had gotten it in nursing school.
One of the few books worth spending money on in nursing school.
by Mrs Emma Marriott
Lots of info. Some drugs out of date even though it is a new edition.
I am a student nurse working on acute assessment and this was valuable
