Critical Care Nursing

I am a RN with 11 years experience. I have worked in critical care units for 4 years; CCU, SICU, MICU, including open heart units and neuro untis. I have been wanting to purchase a good reference book to read through and keep my knowledge up to date. I found a lot of review books for CCRN, etc.; but no basic critical care book that gave more depth and explantions for a better understanding. I am very pleased with this book and am so happy that I chose it. It is easy to read, but not repetetive and boring. It gives the reader a full understanding of the material. I plan to read this whole book in preparation for the CCRN exam and feel it will benefit my nursing career greatly by giving me a greater confidence in my knowledge base and nursing judgements.

I had been out of critical care for some time and found the book extremely useful in updating my knowledge. It is well-referenced, clearly written and interesting.
