Great book for practical exams
This book is a great help for those studying for practical vet nurse exams.

I found the areas on lab tasks easy to understand as they were layed out in a bullet point fashion. The x-ray positioning section was very good as it has all the required views listed with a illustration and bullet points telling you centering, collimation points and what positioning aids to use.

This book covers very little anatomy but is excellent study aid for your practical exams

Excellent guide for vet nurses
I have found this book useful for preparing for 2nd year practical exams and portfolio case logs. It is easy to follow, with most topics condensed into bullet points. I found the lab section and radiography positions extremely helpful. The book concentrates on the practical aspect of nursing and there is little information anatomy and phisiology.
