Lippincott Essentials for Nursing Assistants

Provides the foundational concepts and facts that a nursing assistant needs to function competently in the workplace, be it a long-term care facility, an acute care facility, or a home health agency. Because students enrolled in essentials courses 1) have limited time to read/prepare for class and 2) many have difficulty reading, (learning disabilities, ESL students) we have included only the most basic, essential information, with the understanding that this foundational knowledge will be supplemented by classroom instruction and on-the-job training.
