rogue123 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I am a recent new graduate and will very soon begin a job in urgent care. Does anyone have any good reference books they would recommend? Two books that I have found online that look promising are: "Minor Emergencies: splinters to fractures" and "Textbook of urgent care medicine" . Any one that knows which one may be better or any other options for a new grad in urgent care, please let me know! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoast PA-C Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have "minor emergencies" and keep it in my bag for all of my fast track shifts. It's usually pretty easy to quickly find an answer, and is very clinically-oriented. I would also recommend getting a sturdy pocket notebook for storing info that you find yourself looking up frequently (suture material/size and time to removal, dermatome map, skin tension lines, etc.). I end up using this more than any other reference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTURedRaider Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Minor Emergencies is a great book. I have been in Urgent Care for 2 1/2 years and it is very easy to reference. Definitely recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
