The RN First Assistant: An Expanded Perioperative Nursing Role
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
This text offers clear, concise, step-by-step guidance on the expanded roles and responsibilities of the RN serving as first assistant in the operating room. Current, readable and well-organized, the text surpasses the limited content in general perioperative books. The author and her contributors -- all leaders in the field -- place emphasis on tissue handling and wound healing, instrument management and suturing. Institutional credentialing and collaborative practice information find application with both nurses applying for practice privileges and hospitals setting up a credentialing process. Hundreds of end-of-chapter review questions make this text the only one to promote and support study for the RN First Assistant role and for national certification. A Brandon-Hill Recommended Title.

A good read for RNs or OR staff.

I got a kick out of this book because while it is dated, the more things change.. the more they stay the same. This book answered many questions for me about what the actual tasks of surgery are. This book is a good reference, much like the med-surg book.
