5.0 out of 5 stars Adjunct text for CCRN review, October 9, 2004

Desiree Wyatt (Perkinsville, Vermont United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing Secrets (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, August 24, 2006

Samos12 (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing Secrets (Paperback)

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... :-)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing Secrets (Paperback)

I use this quick reference book with all my orientees. It is my 'Nurses Merck Manual'. The question and answer format prevents TMI for the new ICU nurse.
