Synopsis

Survive your first shifts. Master your worst ones.

The ER moves fast. New grad emergency nurses, nurse residency students, and travel nurses orienting to a new department need clinical information at their fingertips — not buried in a textbook. The ER Nurse Quick Book is a pocket-sized clinical reference designed to live in your scrub pocket, on your badge clip, or beside your brain sheet.

Written by an emergency nurse with MHA, BSN, RN, and CEN credentials, this 64-page color-coded reference gives you the protocols, drugs, and numbers you need — fast.
