Rating : - Cancer Nursing: Principles and Practice
This book is the bible to oncology nurses. It starts at the beginning of time to give you background on cancer, but it also goes in depth to describe each specific disease and as the disease progresses what signs and symptoms to be on the watch for. I found this book to be extremely informative for anyone who wants to know every thing there is to know about cancer. It is an easy read book that is up to date on diseases, clinical trials, drug company pt assistance, as well as listings for oncology support groups..I showed this book to an AOCN who stated this was the most informative easily digested book she has seen. The information is clearly written easily understood and easily findable...enjoy this informative book...
