My error, sorry. I stand corrected. As I said, I have not used it for CME, but was only going by what my PA-C friends had said.

Congratulations on your success!

I work primarily urgent care now and always give some report to the ER when I send a patient there. I have worked ER for many years, and especially with heme/onc patients, I would appreciate receiving a call from the cancer clinic to let us know they were coming, and what direction they wanted us to take with their care, as these can be more complicated patients for us.

I’ve never used it for CME, but my PA-C colleagues have, and they tell me that it is considered Category II CME for them, rather than Category I. I was under the impression that most State nursing boards and certification agencies may limit the number (or deny altogether) the number of Cat. II CME that can be used - I would check directly with your State Board of Nursing and your National Certification body, since specific requirements can vary by state.

I use the paid version of Epocrates, as it is a quick and easy one to use, and is especially useful for the drug interaction check. I use Up to Date as well, but much less frequently. I haven’t updated it recently, but I used to use the Sanford Guide App a lot for antibiotics. Back in the days of paper books, I would carry a Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics, and a Harriet Lane Handbook (perds), and a Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia in the pocket of my lab coat, but I no longer wear one, so don’t have room to carry any books in my scrubs. (And going back a long, long time ago, I used to make 4x6 index cards with a ring attachment with all the information I needed about most of the medications I used Most frequently).
