Great - I now have a clear picture of what's in our library. Here's a full breakdown of how our medical textbook library maps to each of your 6 Med-Surg Nursing units:

Your Med-Surg Nursing Course - Library Coverage Map

  • Clinical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 3e - GI procedural techniques
  • Rosen's Emergency Medicine - emergency procedures and critical care interventions

How to Use This With Me

Whenever you're studying a topic from any of these units, just ask me - for example:
  • "Explain the nursing management of heart failure"
  • "What are the signs of a GI bleed and how is it managed?"
  • "How do you perform a thoracentesis?"
  • "Describe the pathophysiology of sickle cell anaemia"
I'll pull from the relevant textbooks above to give you detailed, textbook-backed answers. What topic would you like to start with?
