Product Description
One of the most overlooked topics in the field of survival medicine is nursing. Doctors or medically trained survivors can patch up a patient after an injury or accident, but it is the survival nurse who provides extended long-term care as well as the dozens of related activities that support the healing process under less-than-ideal conditions. This timely companion to Ragnar Benson's best-selling books on survival medicine tackles the many issues that every serious survival nursing program must face. You will learn the ins and outs of the "big five" considerations of survival nursing; the must-have supplies to keep in stock and how to obtain them; tricks for handling the mountains of laundry generated by a nursing station; how to maintain a low profile with your survival nursing station and why it's important; how to sew up wounds, pull teeth, deliver babies and provide physical therapy under primitive conditions; and more.

 Survival Nurse Ragnar Benson March 7, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am an avid reader of Ragnar Benson's books.I found most of his books very practical and useful for emergency situations. Un fortunately, this is not one of those books. I expected the book to be more practical in the sense that plants and other items found in the woods and local environment would be addressed as part of the concepts presented. This book is too impractical for my learning needs. Although this book is not up to par for me, I do recommend that readers explore some of the authors other works.
 Good info, but covered elsewhere September 16, 2000

I've been an avid reader of Ragnar Benson for years, but I must say I'm disappointed in this book. The information is sound and the advice useful, but the book is almost a ver batim reprint of Ragnar's Urban Survival, with actually very little devotion to medicine. Even a casual glance will reveal the striking similarities between the two. As the later book provides most all of the information within the Survival Nurse, plus information on defense, barter, etc. it is in my opinion the better buy. Buy it, and supplement your medical library with Ditch Medicine and/or Where There is no Doctor. They have much more medical information.

Ragnar Benson's The Survival Nurse: Running An Emergency Nursing Station Under Adverse Conditions is a unique and impressive contribution to modern health care system studies and an invaluable "how to" instructional guide. Benson covers the basic considerations of shelter, water, food, energy, and sanitation; the "must have" supplies to keep in stock (and how to obtain them); tips for handling mountains of laundry generated by an active nursing station; maintaining a low profile with a survival nursing station (and why that's important); and how to sew up wounds, pull teeth, deliver babies, even provide physical therapy under primitive conditions. An excellent, accurate, accessible written and presented primer, The Survival Nurse will prove indispensable for emergency medical self-reliance in the face of natural disaster or chronic urban deprivation conditions.
