A Must Have in the OR “This little book is amazing. I’ve only had it a week and I absolutely love it. It has great tips and pointers that I’ve referred to many times throughout my day in the OR as a new nurse. The anatomy, prep and suture pages are my favorite-there is so much information on everything. Anything you write down with [a] pen is erasable as well. I’ve showed my coworkers and many are going to buy it, even the seasoned nurses.” —Kathaleen, Online Reviewer I absolutely love it.

So easy to understand.” —Stefany, Online Reviewer Perfect! “Covers the basics. A must for a surgical technologist.” —Online Reviewer Review: This book is the Surgical Handy Dandy Notebook it is literally a survival guide! - I bought this book because I am in a Surgical Tech Program and I am going to clinicals soon. This book is beyond amazing!!!!! It’s even better than I thought it was and I knew it would be good. It’s so informative and organized. The book is so good my lecture instructor who is a longtime General Surgeon used it in class to show us a structure in the uterus - the female reproductive system picture and everyone in class came and asked their questions using it, I allowed it of course lol and they all wanted to know where I bought it. The pictures are so clear and sharp. Everything from operating setup to sutures to anatomy (and ALL the anatomy by the way different anatomical views and all structures and labels) to medications during surgery, the list goes on. And it fits right in your pocket or scrub pocket. So I can refer to it during our labs and during my upcoming clinicals. And one day when I’m a med student down the line. I would a 110% recommend this book to anyone working in operating rooms, med students and even people in surgical residencies. Great book, great job author you deserve an award haha! Review: Everything I need fits in the palm of my hand !!!! - This is the best little guide I have ever had. It’s broken down with specific titles for each set of tabs. The lil book actually fits in my hand. When in I’m on my clinicals. I will be able to quickly access my tiny book to help me along the route to becoming a surgical tech. This book is truly a gem I would advise anyone to get this pocket quide. It really does fit in your scrub pocket. I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️ secret tool for a new tech or student 🧑‍🎓
