   labbio replied to jamaone's topic in NP

   I too used this book (5-Min Clinical Consult) during clinicals and for SOAP notes during school. Now, in practice, I tend to reach for Amelia Holler's Clinical Guidelines more and use 5-min Consult for more complex issues. Like them both.

    labbio replied to danceluver's topic in NP Students

    Theoretically, you do not need one; just use one of your reference books. If you do want to have a smart phone, any one is fine; it does not have to be iphone. I mostly use my reference book and occasionally use the free version of epocrates.
