Refresher Book

[amysnurse]

I have only been out of nursing school for close to 5 years but the clinic that I work in has been very slow going. I've been an allergy nurse this whole time. I am going to be starting a new job in a busier clinic with Internal Medicine. I feel like I need a refresher. Has anyone every found a book that is a great refresher?

Thanks

Maybe just find a used NCLEX review book and focus on the adult sections? I like the test question format to help me learn.

Just an idea to but so long as you're considering studying, maybe you can look into getting a certification, like in gero or ambulatory nursing. I say this because you probably will remember more than you think (or it will come back to yo quickly) and you might as well put your efforts into something that you can build your resume with. Most certifications do cover basic as well as setting specific nursing knowledge. Just a thought.

Look on the American College of Physicians or Internal Medicine Association websites for clinical practice guidelines for common diseases and conditions.

Review physical examination and health assessment.

Hi, thank you so much for your advice! Do you mean, like a certification I can do online? If so, where would you suggest finding them? That is a great idea, I just don't know where to look and what to look for that would be accredited?

Thank you!
