Summary: "Hospice Bible"

This is the best book on end of life symptom management out there. Easy to find information on all of the right topics, well researched answers, and just the right length, comprehensive but not overwhelming if you need to respond in a hurry. I don't like the size of the book, though, I understand it's supposed to be "pocket" sized, but a desk reference size would have been so much better, because making it small makes it very thick. Also wish it had been bound looser so it will open flat without breaking the spine of the boook.

Summary: "Excellent Resource for Hospice Nurses"

As a Certified Hospice & Palliative Care nurse, my goal is to provide excellent symptom control for patients who entrust me with their care. This resource is concise and easy to follow in practice. I loved the original printing and I love the notes provided with this edition. The book is small enough to carry in my lab coat day to day, and informative enough to keep my foundation strong. Peter Kaye is an excellent teacher.

Summary: "As essential as your stethoscope"

Kaye's book is in the car with me every day; it is my "hospice bible" of symptom control. All hospice nurses should have a copy of it. It was what I used to study for the certification test.

Summary: "Essential for any hospice nurse"

I cut my hospice teeth on this book in the beginning of my hospice career. From field work to management, I still keep a copy close by for reference. It is a excellent resource for studying for the hospice nurse certification test. I believe there is a newer edition than 1990.
