Easy to access information

I bought this book to help me train nurses for inhospital pediatric care at a community hospital. The book is divided into chapters with quick reference tables that are easy to find (unlike the ones in Harriet Lane which are buried in the chapters). The nurses have expressed how easy to use the book is and how much practical information they now have available to them in seconds.
