Critical Care Nursing

I have been using Lippincott's review series since I started nursing school last year. These books are a must have! They are to the point, tells exactly what you need to know and they have review questions. These books are small and weigh almost nothing so they are easy to keep with you. I will be starting Critical Care which will be my last semester! I am so glad that Lippencott came out with Critical Care Review just in time. I haven't started the new semester yet but in my spare time I have been reading through the chapters. I highly reccommend these series! I even got my other classmates hooked too!

This book is indispensible!

I purchased this book about 4 months ago in order to have a quick reference available to me at work. I am a new graduate ICU RN in a VERY busy trauma center, and this book has everything I need to help refresh my memory quickly when I need it. All of the information in this book is organized system by system, so it's easy to find what you need. The information itself is "just the facts." Everything important regarding every subject pertinent to the ICU, including treatment modalities and nursing diagnoses for any medical condition you can think of! Critical things to remember are in bold lettering, so they really stand out on a page. There are illustrations to help "drive home" more complex concepts and procedures, along with countless graphs and tables of information. Also, this book provides review questions at the end of each section for us motivated readers who like to test ourselves. I'm SO glad I found this book. I take it with me every shift, and have even caught veteren RN's thumbing through it, which tells me that it's a great resource for anyone...whether you're still a student, a new graduate, or have been an RN for 20 years. It's also small enough to carry with you anywhere...and at the risk of sounding weird, I do pretty much take it everywhere I go. I LOVE this book!
