Editorial Reviews

Review

As a travel nurse we need to have all our info immediately available for standards and then be able to find facility policies after patients are stabilized. The Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide provides all the info we need and provides good reviews for our existing pratices... Great drug section for quick look up on patient med lists. --Betty-Jean Park, Delaware

All of our ED staff purchased the new edition. It is great to have the newest information at your fingertips when you may not use the information everyday. --C. Cook, RN, Florida

All around a perfect emergency reference. --N. Michelle Hall, ER Nurse, Pensacola, Florida

This review is from: Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide (Spiral-bound)

I purchased this for a friend who just got his nursing degree and is joining us in the ICU. This guide doesn't take up much space in your pocket, but is packed with good information and it is easy to find what you are looking for in its well-organized format.
