I recommend this book to anyone interested in working in the dialysis field. I recently started orientation with a large dialysis company and found this book was very helpful in taking a subject that seemed complicated and explaining it in a simple and short way.
Great Study Guide for Certification
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I used this book at a study guide for the nursing certification test in 2000. I passed with flying colors. It is comprhensive and to the point. There wasn't a subject in the test that was not covered in this book as well. This book is a much easier read than the ANNA curriculum. If you are looking to study for the CNN or CDN then look no further.

This book is very informative not only for experienced Dialysis professionals but also for those who are new to this sub-specialty. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a book that is very readable and covers the topics necessary without using terminology that is too technical and complicated to understand.

I've been a Dialysis Tech for a year now. I used this book to get throught the interview process, and we used much of the information in this book in the classroom. It is worth every penny.
