Nurse Practitioner Guideline Books for Every Specialty

We know the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest nurse practitioner guideline books.

But it’s hard! With medical knowledge doubling every 73 days, nurse practitioners must make a very concerted effort to stay abreast of the latest and greatest. We must do this not just for our profession but for the safety and well being of our patients.

One easy thing we can do is ensure we have a copy of the latest guideline books on our bookshelf. As a patient, I always feel slightly more reassured when I see my provider’s books… and that they’re not from 2002.
