I'm also in MedSurg this semester in an acute care unit and I'm loving my RNotes. It's not your whole 2000 page MedSurg book, but it's been a great quick reference for me so far!

Oh, apparently there is Med-Surg notes, similar to the RNotes but I haven't had a chance to flip through it so I don't know if it would be helpful.

How about one that offers patient teachings and is kind of compact?
