“Achieving perfection through two revisions!”

The best-selling book 『Nursing Algorithm』 by Ponals, which has sold over 10,000 copies and received much love from readers, has been reborn as 『Nursing Algorithm PRO-Series』 by the author, the Nurses' Research Institute, Boy Nurse, RN. Nogari, RNZY TV, and Yong, the photo-taking nurse.

The 『Nursing Algorithm PRO-Series』 began by analyzing the shortcomings of the existing 『Nursing Algorithm』, and then went through a process of finding solutions and restructuring to produce a sample book.
This is a nursing clinical practice book that was published after several revisions, including feedback from a nursing student opinion survey group through sample books and manuscript review by 21 experts, to make it more perfect.

The first feature of the book is that it adds a basis for why the nursing practice should be performed next to the algorithms in the existing 『Nursing Algorithm』.
The problem with the existing ‘Nursing Algorithm’ is that new nurses understand ‘how’ to perform nursing care after reading the algorithm, but they do not understand ‘why’ they should perform nursing care in that manner.


'Young Nurse', which best explains the basis of nursing practice, has worked hard to enable a fundamental understanding rather than a rushed clinical study by presenting the 'basis' of nursing practice next to the algorithm.

The second feature of the book is that it is divided into seven categories under a specialized classification system for each department, allowing you to study the content of the department that applies to you more professionally.
Each decentralized book is divided into three levels: a 'specialty part' where you can study theories centered on each clinical department, 'vital signs' where you can identify patients through abnormal findings, and 'common nursing' centered on each clinical department, enabling clinical reasoning from nurse readers.

The third feature of this book is that it was reviewed by 21 trustworthy, current experts to ensure that not only new nurses but also professional and dedicated nurses can fully utilize it.
The review team consists of current and former Big 5 nurses, nurses pursuing master's or doctoral degrees, and current nurses with more than 10 years of experience.
With the recent enactment of the Nursing Act, the burden on dedicated nurses and specialist nurses has increased.
For those who are anxious about being put into practice without proper training and those who are anxious even after receiving training, a nursing performance book similar to the doctor's clinical performance evaluation algorithm but more advanced was created.

Lastly, the book was boldly produced in A4, Big Size from a handbook-sized book, allowing readers to see the nursing algorithms of each department at a glance through the open pages of the book, and it has the advantage of allowing readers to study and take notes in a large size book.


The e-book 『Nursing Algorithm PRO-MAX』, which integrates all seven subjects, is scheduled to be published on November 20, 2024, and the paperback version is scheduled to be published on January 5, 2025.
