5.0 out of 5 stars essential for first year nursing, December 23, 2005

This flipbook is perfect for first year nurses because it presents valuable information in a easy to flip, erasable pad. The book has everything from lab values, CPR techniques, assessment data, insulin regimens, tables of meds that counteract each other, and I/O figures for measurement. I used this book a lot for labs during nursing school and liked flipping through to remember basics that would slip my mind. Its a great present for any nursing student or first year graduate. The book includes all ages from babies to the elderly, and presents infomation for all types of nursing. Its a great book also because pen marks wipe away by rubbing it off with alcohol (which is in every RN's pocket). The Rnotes also have other makes that are more specific but this is great because it encompasses a wide range of topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Second Edition Is Now Available, January 30, 2006

By 

Coup de "Grace" (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an updated review for Rnotes 2nd Edition. I had previously posted a review for the 1st Edition, and somehow it ended up in the 2nd Edition's review section as well. Nonetheless, here's what you'll find inside the new edition that you wont find in the first edition (copied straight from FA Davis' website):

NEW! Diseases and Disorders tab covers about 20 common conditions nurses are most likely to encounter, including interventions and patient education

NEW! OB/Peds/Geri tab focuses on life span considerations and will address complications and emergencies associated with pregnancy and delivery

ASSESS tab now focuses on a thorough general assessment of the adult patient

NEW! ECG and LABS combined to cover all diagnostic content in one place and includes 12-lead interpretation

EMERG/TRAUMA tab covers ACLS resuscitation procedures as well as pediatric and neonatal advanced life support information

Expanded coverage of emergency assessment and meds

HIPAA and OSHA-compliant - supporting privacy issues and minimizing the spread of nosocomial infection

I personally own the first edition, and I must say, I carry it every time I'm on shift. It's a great resource for any new graduate, especially if you do not currently own a PDA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!, April 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rnotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide (Spiral-bound)

I got this to help me during clinicals in nursing school. It has a vast amount of information that is well indexed so it is easy to find. The first time I brought it to clinicals my instructor (a nurse practitioner) took it and looked through it for about an hour. By the next day in class she had already purchased her own copy and she recommended it to the whole class.
