MissVetNurse I think you'll find this is the book you are talking about:

ps i also have a calculations book (cant remember its name) its green though got it from BSAVA congress few years back, sure it'll be on amazon though

but its vet nursing one and has all sorts of calculations you'll need during your VN career (fluid therapy, drug dosages, anaesthetic flow rates, radiography exposure factors etc)

I HATE maths and this book really helped me when I first started and still peek back every now and again even now

Hiya

good luck again for your interview

I have Lane & Cooper Veterinary Nursing book and its brilliant

I also have the Complete Textbook of Veterinary Nursing by Victoria Aspinall

I was considering recently getting the BSAVA one but due to limited funds ive held off as i have both of these already but it is an ace book, really helpful xx

Hello sarah

just been reading your other threads congratulations on the job interview hope all goes well.

With regards to the BSAVA textbook i have the 4th edition which is great it is my bible and even though qualified still learn things from it. I had the second edition and i updated it recently. It still has similar chapters but the new one is in colour ( and lots of pretty pictures!) and has also been updated to include new regulations with regards to nursing and nursing care.

I would imagine if they did bring out a 5th edition ( Not sure when that will be) that at the moment would be pretty similar and would be more expensive.

I think you would be ok with the 4th ed but it is up to you if you want to wait.
