Handy guide for a new grad med-surg nurse?

Published

Hello, I just graduated and began working on a medical-surgical floor. I am trying to find a good small book/ bedside guide or something of that nature that has a bunch of information on med surg nursing. For example- If I got assigned a patient with a SBO, I could look up in the book signs/symptoms, medical management, nursing management and things to look out for.... that kind of stuff. Anyone know of a book or something of the sort like that?

Thanks! :)
