A Davis's Notes book. Accept no pretenders. The wildly popular and highly respected RNotes® is the preferred pocket-sized tool of nursing educators and students for the delivery of safe and effective health care in hospital and home settings. In this new second edition, RNotes® continues to present practical, clinically-oriented content across a wide range of topics in a succinct format: quick find features, portability, functionality, and more of the commonly-used but rarely memorized clinical information that hundreds of thousands of nurses and students refer to daily. Refined, reorganized, and updated with new content, the second edition of RNotes® will allow the reader to navigate more intuitively and with less effort.
Here’s what some users of RNotes® have said:
"This is one of the best purchases that I have made since starting school. It has really put it all together in an easy to read and find format. Thanks for the great resource!" -- Vickie Black, Northwest Shoals Community College ADN Program, Russellville, Alabama
"I love this guide. It is helpful to me and will be to students. They can start using as students and continue post grad." -- Rhonda Armstrong, RN, MSN, Hinds Community College, Jackson, Mississippi
