Contexts of nursing is about the history of nursing. The microbiology book is clear and easy to understand. Potter and Perry’s is a huge book - I once took it to bed to read and woke up having difficulty breathing because it was lying on my chest.

I have been doing the rounds of the online bookshops today. I needed a bex and a lie down after seeing the prices of some of them!
