Textbooks

While a textbook is no longer required for learners taking this program, there is the option of purchasing an electronic version of our resource text for a deeper understanding of the high acuity material covered.  Some of the benefits of electronic textbooks are outlined in our Transition to Electronic Textbooks announcement.

Optional
