{PRETITLE} Telephone Triage Protocols for Nurses {POSTTITLE}

I am new to taking triage calls and know people's lives and my license are on the line. This book has been a lifesaver. I've marked the pages with my most common calls and can quickly turn to them. The only drawback is there is no stroke protocol in it.

By Sandi Bingham

I am a new triage nurse for a large clinic and wanted to make sure my pt evaluations on the phone were very thorough. I have 8 years experience in critical care and found it difficult as a triage nurse to try to remember all pertinent questions to narrow down a problem. This Book is an excellent resource to do this and I can find the section I need by quickly looking at the index first. I especially find the way the sections are set up very user friendly and they are straight to the point with spot on recommendations. I get a lot of pt's that refuse to come in for medical care so the home care information is invaluable for these situations. I have had a few unique incidences where there wasn't information in the book on their medical problems but usually it's in there. I highly recommend this easy to use book. It certainly has made my job easier!
