Critical Care Pocket Guide & Calculator

I have the Critical Care Checkmate that JWRN mentioned and have found it to be a must-have in the CCU where I work. I ordered it from the website mentioned at a cost of $38.95 if I remember correctly. It has been worth every penny! Good luck on your move!

I also have the Critical Care Checkmate...love it! I also have the kathy white book, but I like the checkmate better, fits in the pocket easier, and also more water resistant pages, those tissue paper pages in the kathy white book just don't work for me, but I keep it in my bag to refer to, I like that neuro section, and IABP section better too.

I took a class where the prof made us keep a journal of formulas acronyms, pneumonics, etc. The thing is invaluable, but all of the information is condensed from acceptable practice and universally understood formulas that are published in the texts i still have and will never get rid of (you bet that lawyer will have a copy of the exact text you studied).
With the PDA's the software is probably great, but heaven forbid the thing give you a wrong answer on a critical calculation. I can see where the thing might come in handy, but i don't know the guy that wrote the software, i have never worked with him and threrefore i don't really trust him.
Anyone know if any state's Board of Nursing is addressing the issue of PDA's at the bedside and if they will back you in usage of one program over another? The plot just gets thicker doesn't it.
