Customer Rating:  
Summary: Great reference book for OR nurses (newbie & experienced)
Comment: I got my first "Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery" while I was in nursing school back in the late 80's. We had a perioperative course in nursing school and the book was an excellent resource. I got myself another edition (1995) after I gave away my older book. I have not checked out the 2006 edition (out of stock in local bookstore). Hopefully, there will be more updates on the new advances in surgical procedures.

Summary: A Must Have
Comment: I ran across this text in the OR nurse's lounge and found it highly fascinating. The other nurses recommended it to me, so I hopped on Amazon and found one. The prices have come down tremendously since last year. This text is not full of PhD jargon. It's well-written, easy to understand for someone with just an LPN background. I really like it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not as good as older edition
Comment: This newer version of Alexander's Patient in Surgery is not as useful as the older versions as they took out the list of surgical instruments set up lst for scrub techs to use as a guide line. This book shows a select group of instruments but the old versions had an actual list of everything you might need for that procedure.
I'm very disappointed with this change. Thank goodness I still have the older version to resort back to.
Customer Rating:
Summary: NO OTHER
Comment: For every case am presented with, I use this book to prepare my 20-page OR report. Am learning a lot from it. Because of it my grades are high.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Standard
Comment: Buy this book if you want to learn the surgical process. It sets the standard for surgical textbooks.
