Valuable Reference
I own every other edition of this very handy and helpful pocket guide. It is particularly useful for review and in critical care moments when a smart phone app or accessing online information is impractical (ie. at the bedside or in back of an ambulance during an arrest) . The recent updates are inline with current ACLS guidelines and the med / practice updates are particularly helpful. The paper quality lends itself to being cleaned / disinfected rather easily, which is a bonus for infection control purposes (ie. removing blood and body fluid). Cleaning a smart phone contaminated with blood and body fluid, on the other hand, is not. Highly recommended as a resource for medical / nursing staff and first responders / paramedics.

I've been an ER RN for ~5 years. I know my stuff pretty well, but every now and then you just need to quickly recall a number, or an EKG reciprocal change, or a drip reference. This book is great. It's conveniently sized, great page finish, durable, etc. I have used it many times already. I will say it's probably not ONE HUNDRED percent accurate, but it gets you in the range and gets you started. I am careful while using it in the hospital, r/t hospital policy compliance etc... but a great quick reference. Does not have as much information on critical drips as I was hoping for, either! Luckily, there's blank note pages in the back!
