Pediatric clinical references

Published

I have been working as an RN on a Med/Surg/Orthopedic floor for the past year. There is soon to be an opening on the Pediatric floor at a sister hospital that I will be applying for. I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a clinical reference book that would assist me in refreshing my knowledge of Peds nursing. Thank you for any assistance!

When I got my job offer I asked for Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children for birthday-christmas. My facility also uses Lexi-Comp Peds as our official drug book as well as Harriet Lane and the Teddy Bear book for injectable drugs. Other than that I use my nursing school notes from peds and articles from my nurse educator on specific topics. I regret getting rid of my developmental psychology book because I think that'd be a helpful resource now.
