Lab Values: 63 Must Know Labs for Nurses

Nothing too special here. I agree with other sellers when they said it looks like it was printed at home. There are no page numbers in the book even though there is a guide in the book that tells you what page to go to for the specific lab value. However, slightly impossible to look up that page number when there are no page numbers in the book.... very annoying. I would not recommend the book. Spend the extra money and get a better one.

I've been a nurse for years and this book is a great refresher and tool to look up labs that you might not always use everyday, but are common labs used in the medical field. It's written and laid out so you can find the lab you need. I learn much better when I have a book/material in my hands instead of reading it on a computer and/or having to research it online. A coworker of mine recommended this to me and after looking at her copy, decided to buy a copy for myself.

It's a good book but the pages are like cheaply made that almost looked like it was a photocopy from the original book. Helpful if you're working in US. Still a good reference book.

Not what I expected. Simple. The lab values book I bought the last time was 1/2 the price and was full of lab values...not just 63 must know. I should've read the description.

This book delivers exactly what I wanted: a clear FAST resource for clinical use that you can use to quickly find accurate information about normal lab values, function, and why those would increase or decrease. I don't want colors, goofy pictures, or lengthy info. It's not the best size for fitting in a pocket, even though as you can see by the pictures that it isn't a big book, but right now I carry it easily in my clipboard. I'd like a pocket-size. So, in the beginning of the book you have a few pages with info about blood collection - I haven't read it except for the order of draws. Then there's a lab chart with all the values. Last the bulk of the book is the list of common labs in alphabetical order with a brief description but just long enough for what you need to know and can access fast.
