3.0 out of 5 stars
Not so impressed,
By Mom2BE "bectrek" (Mckinney TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing: Pocket Handbook (Spiral-bound)
This "book" does a great job with covering the patho associated with many conditions you will find in the ICU/CCU setting. It would be a good reference to keep at home for in depth reading.
I assumed (incorrectly) that since it was a pocket guide it would cover more aspects of hands on nursing care, pharmacology, lab data. I have been an ICU nurse for 10 years, but took a baby vacation. It's great to have a reference that goes into extreme detail of multiple diseases, but I wanted something a bit less in depth for fast reference to jar my memory before calling a doctor, responding to a situation etc. This book has a few quick, helpful facts in it, but not enough to convince me to lug it around in my bag. I wound up printing off my own data & putting it in a small spiral notebook
