How to Integrate the Guide into Your Daily Shift

A pocket guide is useless if it stays in your locker. Here is how seasoned nurses integrate it into their workflow:

• Shift Start: During report, pull the guide out to look up a diagnosis you haven't seen in a while (e.g., "What is VATER syndrome?").

• Maternal-Child Rounding: Use the breastfeeding section to look up which antidepressants are safe for lactating mothers (L1-L2 categories) versus those that are contraindicated (L4-L5).
