I found the Med/Surg RN NOTES (pocket sized) to be generally helpful with things like labs, exams, specific assessments issues and etc.

What area of nursing do you plan on working in? I remember when I got out of nursing school I bought so many books and didn’t use any of them. Choose books that interest your area of interest. If you work on a cardiology floor then select books that may help your understand your patients better. One book I think every nurse young and old should have is a Diagnostic and Laboratory reference. I would say most nurses don’t even know what the lab test or diagnostic test mean. This is one of the books and it has high Amazon ratings.
