- Summary:
- Medical nursing is a well-recognised and important part of the veterinary nurse's role. With the launch of the Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (Medical), veterinary nurses are now able to further their knowledge and specialise in the medical nursing field. This undoubtedly helps to increase the level of patient care as well as leading to improved job satisfaction. Many books are available that address veterinary nursing in general. The aim of Textbook of Veterinary Medical Nursing, however, is to concentrate solely on the medical aspects of nursing care, offering a comprehensive and unique tool for practice. This book provides full coverage of the syllabus for the Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (Medical) as well as additional coverage of the medical nursing sections of the S/NVQ veterinary nursing qualification, thus forming the basis of reference and study materials at all levels. Textbook of Veterinary Medical Nursing is an essential purchase for veterinary nurses and technicians who wish to extend their level of knowledge or to consolidate their current understanding of medical nursing within a veterinary framework.
