Audience
Nursing students in 2-year and 4-year programs (211,450 BSN students and 133,494 RN-to-BSN students enrolled as of Fall 2017. ADN enrollments unknown)
Straightforward and user friendly information. I anticipate using it to support our midwifery skills modules and the level 6 complex midwifery care module. I like the diagrams because I believe students will be able to relate them to the principles of physiology we teach-often difficult concepts to understand. The venepuncture and cannulation section is very student-friendly particularly with relation to equipment used, however it will need to be taught with relation to UK guidelines. I will request a paper copy to show to our School of Health Librarian
