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

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

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

Customer Reviews

I keep it by me constantly!!!
This is a handy little book for the ER! I work as an ER RN, and mine is with me everyday... Since I am a relatively new grad, I still have a lot to learn (and remember!) From code drugs to burn charts, ACLS algorhythms and EKG stuff, down to being a quick reminder of what a med is for again, this book is so helpful! I have flipped open the Spanish section many a time in triage, although I do wish it was more in depth.

EXCELLENT
THIS POCKET GUIDE FITS EASILY IN MY POCKET, DOES NOT TEAR, IS WATER RESISTANT, & IS ALL AROUND A PERFECT EMERGENCY REFERENCE.
