Nursing Assistant: A Nursing Process Approach, SE
This textbook is a good textbook for basic nursing assistant teaching. The UNAR state curriculum is taught throughout this book, but not in the order the state has set it up. The book is very easy to read and understand. It would be a good book for those just starting their education in health care or want to just be a CNA. Some of the concepts were very basic and some additional teaching by the instructors will bring it up to UNAR standards. The additional supports that students have access to are a good resource to have. The flashcards with the vocabulary words is a good study tool for students.
It would also be a good supplemental textbook for the advanced health science course, but not as a primary resource. It covers some of what is needed, but not all of the body systems.
