Recieved The Wrong Book

I ordered Critical Care Nursing Secrets but received the wrong book. It is not even closely related to the book that I need.

Critical Care Nursing Secrets

This manual is a must for both the novice and expert ICU nurse. It is easy to find the answers to your question and detailed enough to expain complicated concepts.

Best critical care book out there

As an experienced critical care RN, I have owned and read many cc books. This is by far the most practical and useful book out there. It is written in a question/answer format that makes it easy to read cover to cover as well as easy to refer to for quick reference. It gives excellent concise yet detailed rationale. It uses language and terms that are used at the bedside. All answers are written for practical bedside use rather than vague theoretical answers. K. Puntillo is one of the leading cc nurses in her field. She, as well as most of the contributors, are nursing faculty, researchers, and clinical nurses at UCSF, the #1 nursing school and nursing research facility in the US.

Fantastic!

This is an excellent CCRN review, AND a really great reference book. I carried mine to work every day for at least a couple of years, but am finally giving some other books a chance. Mine has been used a lot, and is full of margin notes, underlined phrases, stars, and exclamation marks! Buy it now, its great... :-)

Adjunct text for CCRN review

In short order, this book captures the essentials of what you need to know in the ICU, and very frequently seen as subject matter on the CCRN exams. I found the memory-joggers (e.g. MR.PASS, MS.ARD) practical in both didactic and clinical practice, and often refer my orientees to this text.
