PMHNP Reference Books

[pmhnp_fnp]

Hi all!

I recently graduated and accepted my first job as a PMHNP. I'm seeing 95% pediatric psych patients and around 5% adults. I was wondering if there were any reference books you guys use to make your day-to-day practice easier.

I have Stahl's book, but when I'm at the clinic if I have a quick question regarding which medication to start vs another or the patient's parent asks a vague question about a medication it's a pain to flip through the entire thing. His layout is not the best in my opinion, although the content is great. I have an Epocrates account, but the location I am at is very rural and the internet speed is less than ideal so it isn't always an option. Plus, there is something about an actual book you can flip through that is nice.
