Hide this one!

This is a great little pocket guide, although it needs to be updated. My only suggestion is hide it in your locker at the end of your shift or it is GUARANTEED TO DISAPPEAR!!!!

Pockect Guide for RTs, ALL U NEED TO KNOW!

This book is EXCELLANT!! It is very easy to read & contains a complete, condensed "stock-pile" of the basics of Respiratory Therapy. It's great!! I recently returned to the Respiratory workforce, after taking a "sabatical" of approximately 8 years. This little book helped me to review what I needed to function in the field of RT. It's nice & compact for easy carrying and has valuable info needed to complete a days work!!

Old School

This book contains the information needed by anyone who want to be a quality Respiratory Care Practitioner. I spent several years gathering this information in a hand written pocket notebook and I still did not have the scope and breadth of this pocket tome.

If you want to be good you need this book.
