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.
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.
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 educationNEW! OB/Peds/Geri tab focuses on life span considerations and will address complications and emergencies associated with pregnancy and deliveryASSESS tab now focuses on a thorough general assessment of the adult patientNEW! ECG and LABS combined to cover all diagnostic content in one place and includes 12-lead interpretationEMERG/TRAUMA tab covers ACLS resuscitation procedures as well as pediatric and neonatal advanced life support informationExpanded coverage of emergency assessment and medsHIPAA and OSHA-compliant - supporting privacy issues and minimizing the spread of nosocomial infectionI 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.
This little book has it all, yet it really fits in your pocket! It's amazing! The coolest feature of all is that you can write on the pages with a ballpoint pen and then erase what you wrote with alcohol and start over. No ink residue!
The second edition is awesome. It feels like it's 3 times the size of the original and it includes some OB, Peds, and Geri information. In addition it also has meds, IV, fluids, labs, and more. This is like a combination of all facets of nursing, but only the essential information. This is well worth the money.
I have looked at a great many clinical nursing pocket guides and I must say this is the best. This clinical notebook is published by the same company that publishes Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, just from this you can tell that most of the information is detailed, to the point, and easy to understand. The pad is made of waterproof resistant material and you can write on it with a ball point pen then wipe off with an alcohol swab and use it again. There is enough room to eneter information in for 5 patients. While I am not sure it will be of much use to a practicing nurse, it has proven very helpful for students.
I love RNotes very much. There is so much information right at your fingertips. It fits nicely in my scrub shirt. It can be written on and wiped clean. There are so many topics of information such as, calculations and conversions, lab values, assessment skills, emergency information, medications, and much much more. I recommend this book highly to any student nurse or "old-timer."
I am a second-year RN student and I've found this little pocket book to be quite helpful at clinicals and at work (student nurse at a local hospital). Not only were my fellow nursing students raving about it, but my co-workers were just impressed with the content of the book and the fact that one can write pertinent info and wipe off that info when the patient is discharged.
