J. Porter said Excellent resource. A great resource for any RN caring for patients who've had transplants. Very detailed nursing info that goes back to basic nursing care (gets a little lengthy at times). Excellent immunosuppression chapter, detailed standards for care for variety of solid organ transplants.. "Core curriculum for transplant nurses" according to Alex. Easy read. I've been working in heart transplantation for some years and have decided to obtain my CCTC. I was advised that this would be a good book to use for studying. At first glance did not like that it's in outline format, but after further consideration it's a good thing. Learning new things and applying to my clinical practice. Highly recommend. Amazing book. Great book, very helpful. The information is easy and precise, very detailed information provided about medications commonly used for transplant patients.
