PsychNotes: Clinical Pocket Guide Sixth Edition

Gave this to a friend teaching the specialty in College

Perfect for new clinicians. Includes lots of information in an organized logical manner.

I already have a BS in psych and I’m getting my BSN-RN before working a few years as a psych RN and then gaining my PMHNP. This book is meant to follow me for years to come into my NP practice, and it is perfect for just that. It’s practically a psychology and psychiatry/psychopharmacology textbook in one. I can’t bring myself to purchase any pocket psych assessment guides or pocket psych med guides or pocket DSM-5’s because this is all three and a bag of chips. Seriously, this is an invaluable tool for students, psych RN’s, psych NP’s, counselors, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, drug rehabilitation technicians, literally anyone who works with mental illness regularly in a medical sense/setting. The fact you can fill out the assessment pages in ballpoint pen, chart the results, and then wipe it off with an alcohol wipe for reuse is just genius. Can’t recommend enough, truly!

This a great help when I need guidance with my charting

I’ve looked through a few different quick reference guides and this takes the cake. It has just about everything: Basics, Assessments, Disorders and Interventions, Drugs/Labs, Drugs Alphabetized, Crisis and even Geri Psych.I wish I had this during nursing school because it would have been a huge help.I also love that it’s spiral bound, small enough to actually fit in your pocket and waterproof- you can write on it with a ballpoint pen and wipe off with an alcohol wipe.Awesome little reference guide!

really helped me for my clinicals and mental health course in nursing

Extremely helpful resource. Has screens, diagnoses, treatment protocols, etc. Extensive medication list. Covers elders and postpartum for depression. Waterproof pages are sturdy. Can use page markers repeatedly and move them around.

It was helpful, but I need bigger print. I used it a handful of times.
