Berry & Kohn's Operating Room Technique

Rating:
Summary: I hate this book!!
Review: I am a senior at Vincennes University majoring in Surgical Technology and this is the text our instructor chose to use this year while awaiting the publication of her own and everyone in our class agrees that this book does not have the capability to explain things in an organized manor. This text reads like greek to us. I don't recommend this text to anyone who is in or maybe considering going into Surgical Technology.

Summary: Not a good book for Surg tech
Review: I am a Student studying to be a Surgical Technologist and this is one of my core books. It is not helpful at all. I purchased a much better surg tech book called Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist. This is a much better book. It is directly from the AST. Berry & Kohns is geared more towards Nursing. I wouldn't recommend Berry & Kohns.

Summary: There's no "con" to Berry and Kohn
Review: I found this book indispensible in studying to become an operating room nurse. I have been a registered nurse for 25+ years and have not found a book more helpful than this in learning a new aspect of nursing. It shares tables, pictures, boxes of interesting notes and even websites and search engines to make learning more fun and interesting. Don't go into the operating room without it. This is no con!

Summary: My intended audience for the 9th edition
Review: This edition of the time honored text was updated to include information for all caregivers of perioperative patients. The intended audience includes: Perioperative and PeriAnesthesia Nurses, and Surgical Technologists. Med/Surg Nurses will find the information contained therein to be useful. Please feel free to drop me a note with your thoughts and comments.

Summary: Instructor opinion
Review: This year I have chosen the Berry & Kohn text. I think it is an excellent choice. I use this book in conjunction with Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist. Berry & Kohn is more extensive and includes more detail. However, I have not been able to find a text bank or instructor guide
