My first port of call, as a nurse, would be any book that makes reference in it's title to both anaesthesia and nursing.

This is one we had in our college library (and a copy in practice) which I found really useful.

Quite a lot of information on this site.

Looks like a good online CPD offering, but not tried it myself yet.

There was also a site I used years ago when doing my diploma, which had things like dynamic images of anaethetic circuits and gas flow - but can't find it now!

Because I am soo keen to work In the veterinary Profession and I have no social life at all As when i,m at the vet each week I like to have some idea what they are talking about and don't want to be spoonfed, so I go away and research - get engrossed and this is what happens - i,ve been reading Veterinary Anaesthesia Principles and Practice by Alex Dugdale - Thats covers pre op assessment, anaesthetics, monitoring, fluid therapy - considerations for renal, hepatic, endocrine, cardiac disorders and includes small animal, exotics, horse and ruminants. I have found it very informative and this would maybe meet your needs. It cover says its aimed at vets and vet students but could be useful to veterinary nurses.

ie how to maintain sufficient level so you're not going to kill your animal from an o/d, or else have it leap off the table mid surgery! Particularly difficult cases, ie geriatrics, heart murmur, liver dysfunction, etc
