Another great nursing quick resource to have on hand, especially for new nurses. It is full of information on assessing lungs, sounds, EKG, insulin, cranial nerves, calculating IV drip rates, and scoring for GCS and pressure sores. Many other assessment aides to that new grad.
This has some good information. The ones that I found helpful were some lab values, assessing lung sounds, head to toe assessment, IM sites, household and metric equiv., some of the medical abbreviations and odor assessment. I wish that all of the lab values that I deal with at the hospital for clinical every day were in here. I felt like the space used for cranial nerves could have been utilized for something a little more commonly used. In med-surg I've never had to even think about cranial nerves, but lab values play a huge role. Knowing what I know now I would definitely buy it again though.
This is a great cheat sheet for work and clinicals in nursing school. I first saw this used by a nurse at my job and decided to get this for myself to carry with me to use while I am in school on my way to become a nurse. I love it. It has everything I need. I wish I could have had it sooner. Most of the time my friends have just wrote things down on a sheets of paper or note card to carry around with us, but this is more efficient and less likely to be lost or torn.
Helpful if you are clueless about anatomy, otherwise, kind of useless. What are you going to do, carry this around with you and check it as you assess your patient? I don't think so. The info is very basic. Better off making your own flashcards or note sheets.
I bought many of these cards (in different subjects) from and they were a GREAT help in nursing school and now as a Nurse I find I refer to them all the time. Recommend highly!
Our clinical instructor recommends this highly. Laminated and pertinent. Carry it in my binder and can check out needed info. Good pix!
I ordered this for a nursing course I was in (Nursing Assessment). It was very helpful as a quick reference. The guide came on time and I had no problems with it. I would order again from this vendor.
Great tool for your first semester of nursing school. Was recommended by my clinical instructor. Only problem is you can't fold it up and keep it in your pocket for quick reference during your head-to-toe exams :-). Some classmates have copied specific parts and laminated them for pocket use. Overall very useful.
