Product Description

This is a handy reference book in the award-winning Incredibly Easy! style--perfect for those entering or needing a refresher in critical care nursing. Critical care nursing is one of the most demanding and complex areas of nursing practice. The critical care nurse has to be "broadly specialized" with a fluency in a wide range of interconnected concepts, body system physiology, pathophysiology, and highly technical interventions, while processing data from multiple sources--all this in an environment where there is no room for error and seconds really do count.

4.0 out of 5 stars critical care made incredibly easy, November 6, 2000

By	dorita j devitt (millerton, ny usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh) (CD-ROM)

A good exercise for review or learning in the critical care area. I found the questions to range from easy through very difficult. Some nurses only work in certain areas of critical care i.e., cardiac, burns, brain trauma, so this offers a chance to gain knowledge in areas other then your expertise. It's so simple to answer a cardiac question if you deal with it day in and day out, but a burn question may really stop you in your tracks. What is best is the answer is always given along with the rationale. Also hints are given if you need them, although I like to try and use that option only when really stumped. I also found there to be quite a lot of questions although some come up more often, which would be the only drawback. Another nice options is you can pick the categories you want and the amount of questions you wish to answer. The animation is an added attraction. It puts a little fun into the study time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great test review tool!, November 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh) (CD-ROM)

I love this CD! It is a great way to take a break from studying, have fun and still use your precious time effectively! It is filled with humor and even gives you praise for correct answers. If you answer incorrectly, you may get a pie in the face, or your desk may fall through a trap door in the floor! You can choose 3 different modes: endless lecture, problem patient, tedious textbook torture. You can then pick your content from a list of topics. I use it before our units tests to see what I still need to rewiew! Watch your test grades improve. I highly reccomend this fun CD for any nursing student, or anyone considering critical care.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent, February 12, 2005

By	Serenyd - See all my reviews

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh) (CD-ROM)

I liked this CD - it has a lot of good information and is more fun than just reading a book. However, the animations get tedious after a while and I think they slow the review down some.

ATTENTION WINDOWS XP USERS - If you have the service pack 2 installed, you may get an error message concerning C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT when you try to install the program.
I was able to fix the problem easily by right-click + copy the AUTOEXEC.NT file from the C:/WINDOWS/repair folder and then right-click paste to the C:/Windows/System32 folder.
More information can be found @ http://www.voyetra.com/site/kb_ftp/3204002.asp or
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767&Product=winxp

(There is also a tech support line for the cdrom, but only available Mon-Fri).
