Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination: Review Questions and Strategies 3 reviews
Barbara Todd
F. A. Davis Company, 2002
Best Resource for Studying for the Certification Exam.
I've used this book twice as a study aid for the certification exam. I thought it was very useful the first time I took the test.
I now had to re-certify by exam (5 years later) and decided to use this book (and the CD) as my primary resource, and boy did that strategy pay off. The language (unlike other resources I used) is similar to that used on the exam, and the random mix of questions ...

Cope's Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen (Silen, Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen)8 reviews
Zachary Cope
Oxford University Press, USA, 2005
A must have for every medical doctor...surgeon or not...
I readed this book the first time 26 years ago, and it gave me a "sixth" sence as a suregon. Today I, as orthopaedical surgeon still have in my mind the essentials of the Dr. Cope's master-piece. I think it must be as a duthy ("a must be read book") in every serious medical school, to teach alumnii the surgeon's mind...even if the alumnii goes to clinical areas later on.

The Pediatric Acute Care Handbook (A Little, Brown Handbook)1 review
Mary Lieh-Lai, Maria Asi-Bautista
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1995
Great pocket book!
Excellent for the house super or ED rotation. Small enough for your coat pocket. Problem based, algorithmic approach with adequate text and drug dosages. Definately a great tool for your night as the house super. My first copy was "borrowed" from the ED, i liked it so much i bought another one. One of my "securtiy blanket" books. I always have it with me.
