Reviews

Not only will student veterinary nurses find it excellentvalue in content and price, I expect that both qualified veterinarynurses and vets will view it as an invaluable addition to thepractice library. (Veterinary Record, 16 June2012)"This is the book that every nurse should have, be they a studentnurse, a qualified nurse, an older qualified nurse and even somevets to bring them bang up to date with all the latest techniquesand good standards of nursing care." (Veterinary Practice, 1February 2012)
