Reviews
Review from previous edition This is a gem of a book. It is easy to use, practical and informative - a must for qualified nurses and nursing students involved in cancer care. * Nursing Standard, 2007 *
This detailed-yet-concise pocket guide for nurses has an outline format with small sections containing easy-to-read information that makes it a handy reference. Helpful * Laura A Johnson, MSN, APN, AGCNS-BC, BMTCN(Rush University Medical Center), Doody's *
This book would definitely be an asset in any oncology setting...I will be recommending it be purchased by my hospital to be easily accessible in the medical/surgical units, as well as our chemotherapy unit. * CancerForum, 2008 *
