AIKENS’ PRIMARY STUDIES

Miss Aikens brings together in this book well-rounded courses of lessons in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, bacteriology, therapeutics, materia medica, dietetics, and invalid cookery—subjects which, with practical nursing technic, constitute the primary studies in a nursing course. Throughout the book there are many practical suggestions and helps. The chapter on dietetics is really a monograph.

AIKENS’ CLINICAL STUDIES

This work by Miss Aikens is written along the same lines as her successful book for primary students. It takes up all the studies the nurse must pursue during her second and third years in the training-school. It gathers together in one volume matter previously scattered in several books and often very unsystematically taught by lectures. Here you get all this information stated in such a way that the nurse will be able to grasp the subject with ease.
