5.0 out of 5 stars
AACN Pocket Handbook of Critical Care Nursing,
By A Customer
This review is from: AACN Pocket Handbook of Critical Care Nursing (Spiral-bound)
As a new nurse to ICU I have found this pocket guide handy as a reference, a teacher, and for finding information quickly It is easy to use, with a lot of information needed in the adult ICU. It has a very good section on IV medication with dilutions and infusion times. The size of the actual pocket guide itself is somewhat larger than others that I have seen, but it has easy to read print size.

1.0 out of 5 stars
disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: AACN Pocket Handbook of Critical Care Nursing (Spiral-bound)
I was very disappointed with the pocket handbook for several reasons, the primary being that the ACLS guidelines were not the updated current ones. I also found the small print difficult to read and the use of only black print with no color coding made it hard to search though.
