Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - urgent care resources
I'm just starting in urgent care and this has proven to be a great resource. It has many helpful tips not found in other sources. I highly recommend it--it's very practical!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Urgent Care/Family Med Reference!

It is an excellent supplement to advanced clinical nursing education, gives one a good starting point for the application of current guidelines, and is a real confidence booster when flying ...
