I actually ordered this little guide along with the RNotes clinical pocket guide at the same time and they have the same information pretty much but I prefer the way the RNotes is presented better than the way information is presented in this guide.RNnotes has all the critical care info this guide has plus more. For example - labs in this are given but the units are not given. Cranial nerves are listed but in the RNotes cranial nerves are listed with how to assess the nerve. Also quite a bit of info in this is given in grey print on a grey background which is hard to read. After about 2 minutes of comparing the two books I knew I only needed the one so I returned this one. If I hadn't ordered the two guides together I wouldn't have compared the two and would probably have been happy, so take that into consideration when you read this.
I bought this guide for my paramedic class in particular for the different drugs and dosages but it has much more than that. Information is very easy to find and it only has critical info needed for the field, which is great because I don't have to carry a huge book to find what I need. I will be buying the other guides once they get updated. This one has been updated this year... great buy!!
Received as expected. The content is great and categories are divided appropriately. As with all pocket guides this one has the plastic coils which has broken on me in the past. The only reason I gave it a 4 is b/c it's dated 2014 and it's now 2016. I'm sure that the algorithms haven't change much but i'm not sure if there is a more current edition.
This pocket guide has thus far been quite the great review for various emergencies that can come up in everyday normal life and is actually quite the interesting read. As it is a pocket guide, the writing is concise and yet still thorough and satisfying. Overall great guide for those various emergencies that ED nurses face. Additionally, the ACLS portion seems great and is very informative and not as intimidating as the ACLS book.
I'm a 911 paramedic and I keep this very useful book in my pocket. The biggest help to me is the medication and drug areas. With how fast new medications are being pushed out its good to be able to look them up fast while tryn to help a injured or ill pt.
This is a great book for new nurses like me, and not just in the ED. Very informative, and its not too heavy to throw in your scrub pants. The med section is great, it has both generic as well as brand names.
Just what I needed! I saw that other nurses have these and use them, so now I'm happily carrying around my own! Lots of lifesaving info that you're going to want to have in your head. It wouldn't really be appropriate to delay care and whip this out to look something up. If you know EMS is bringing a full arrest, then sure, study again and refresh yourself for a few minutes PTA. This is a valuable resource!
Small and simplified. This is a great resource. I take it to work with me every night in the ED, and refer to it often. In downtime, I read through it and always learn something new. I am so glad I have it!
