Mosby's Critical Care Nursing Reference

Simply the Only Nurse reference to own! This concisely written book indexes topics into easily accessible headers by systems head to toe. It's sturdy pages, waterproof, flexible binding and 7"x5"x1" size makes it pocket- and backpack-friendly. With pages recessed 1/4 inch beneath the cover crisp pages stay clean. This book is so packed with beautifully-presented, relevant information the only other book I take to work is the 4-page AHA ACLS Cheat Sheet.

This is the best critical care reference tool I have used. The content is clearly written, and offers easy to find answers to common and not so common situations. The content has a brief review of the major body systems, and also includes the "what to look for, what to do, and How to do it" information we critical care nurses are sometimes looking for. Nursing diagnosis is included, as well as many indexes of quick reference information. I bought this book when I first entered critical care five years ago, it has been very useful.
