Best suited for occasional reference2
I am not new to CV nursing and being an NP student, I am always trying to add to my collection of cardiac materials. This book reads as if it were written fifty years ago and the illustrations are just as bad--a few pics/illustrations and only in black & white. I recommend skimming through this book at a library/bookstore before dropping $80+ dollars for it.

CARDIAC NURSING5
I AM NEW TO THE CVICU AREA AND THIS BOOK IS A FAST READER, EASY TO UNDERSTAND BOOK. IT GETS VERY IN DEPTH BUT MAKES THINGS SIMPLE.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN LEARNING HOW THE CARDIAC SYSTEM WORKS.

Great condition!5
Book was like new. It is a very complex book. Not to be read by a new cardiac nurse, but someone with a few years of experience
