Kensakar Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just wondering what is the best Paramedic Field guide for me to buy? I find it easier to carry flash cards and field guides to work with me to study from than trying to haul around all of my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 informed by a long shot. There was just a thread about this maker over the past 2 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kensakar Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Repost? I don't think so. The post that you are pointing me to does not answer my question. I ask what field guide you would recommend to help me study without carrying around 200lbs of books. That post talks about creating your own and the reasons for or against toting one. But no where does it talk about a specific guide or recommend one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentoli Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Except its all about one kind, which is probably the most used one in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask what field guide you would recommend to help me study without carrying around 200lbs of books. If studying is what you are talking about, then you are WAY off track. There is no studying to be done from a quick reference guide. No concepts can be learned or understood from the info in a pocket guide. That's not what they are for. And if that is your intent, you're going to fail. Studying -- that is, the process of reviewing and learning of concepts -- is best achieved by building upwards from the foundation. The foundation is your textbooks and lectures. Take notes from that, rearrange and reprint them, then read them again. That is how you study. You are not going to learn anything from a field guide. The very best you can hope for is to memorise some formulas or pieces of information. I strongly recommend against this. Study your notes. Take notes from your notes. Make flash cards from your notes. Study from that, not a field guide. Otherwise, you are only painting yourself into a corner of cheat sheets for the rest of your career.

Just Plain Ruff Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 What I have done is this, I have taken the pages with all the medications in the back, you know the ones that are just lists of medications with types and correct spelling. I have taken those pages and covered them with printouts of my protocols and other important pieces of information that I find that I use all the time. I rarely use the med sheets in the guide and what better place to put protocols and other items I've listed or set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
