AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing

Super fast shipping. Excellent resource that really helps understand why we treat things the way we do which strengthens critical thinking and helps prepare for a job that can be extremely unpredictable. Has already made me a much better nurse in a few days of self-study!

good quality

I bought this because it was mandatory for my Critical Care class in my nursing program. My teacher required it on her syllabus, but doesn't use it much in class. I don't mind though because it has so much information in here. It is very easy to read and understand and really provides me with extra information that my professor may not cover. It has helped me so much on my exams, and just makes the concepts so much more clear.

I adore this book. Started bringing it to work as a new grad, but it's kind of too big for that (plus I never have enough time to make it worthwhile). Lots of illustrations, text, etc. Hoping to eventually use it to study for my PCCN (as soon as I get enough hours to do it!). Bought this instead of the similar (blue cover) PCCN book because it seems like it's nearly identical (but this version has a few more chapters not in the PCCN book, like ventilators, hemodynamics, etc.). I don't work in an ICU, so not all of the chapters apply, but I still find it a great resource as a progressive care nurse.

received in good condition with thanks
