This is a worthless self-published piece of garbage. I thought I was purchasing the most updated AHA ACLS guidelines; this is definitely not that. It turns out that it is written by a nurse whose other titles include Nurses' Romance Series and How to Make a Million in Nursing. Apparently this nurse can make a lot of money by self-publishing a piece of trash and selling it to unsuspecting professionals (who are only trying to keep their hospital credentials updated) for $40. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

This is NOT the ACLS Provider Manual. I think the book cover is misleading. This is a simple introductory that is not very well written. Strangely, at the end of the study guide, they included what appears to be someone's nursing school research paper called, "Overview of Critical Care Nursing." It has no helpful information for actual critical care nurses.

CAVEAT EMPTOR. As soon as I finish this review I will be contacting Amazon to see if I can return this book for a refund. As a healthcare professional I cannot emphasize enough that this book is a complete rip-off to anybody hoping for a useful ACLS reference/study guide, and I would not recommend it even as an introduction for the layperson.
Layout -- this book is close to 90 pages. If you took out the double-spacing and overly large font I suspect it would be closer to 25 pages.
Editing -- nonexistent. This "manual" is rife with mistakes, spelling errors, formatting mistakes, and incorrect information. My suspicion is that this is the author's notes from an ACLS course she took at some point in the past, with minimal effort spent correcting the shorthand and double-checking for missing information.
Content -- this book is missing more information on ACLS than it contains. If you rely on this book for an ACLS course you will fail. Guaranteed. ACLS is all about choosing the correct algorithm for different codes (tachycardias, bradycardias, PEA, asystole, MI...) and this book provides zero information on the approach to each of those conditions. There is no information on the medications, doses, and modifications to your approach based on which medical condition is suspected. PEA is never even mentioned, even though it is one of the deadly heart rhythms that has a place within the algorithms.
Misc -- I knew I was in trouble when I initially looked inside the back cover of the book (prior to reading) and saw advertisements for the author's other books, which included such noteworthy titles as "Nurses' Romance Series" "How to Make Money Writing" "How to Become a Better Husband" "How to Become a Better wife" "How to Make a Million in Nursing" and my favorite, "The Orgasm".
Do NOT purchase this book. If you really want to avoid getting the (official) American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS Provider Manual, pick-up the AHA ACLS pocket reference cards instead of this falsely advertised book. You will save about $20 and have something that is a useful study guide for your ACLS exam.
I hope this review saves someone from the mistake that I just made.

Don't waste your money. It's written in 14-pt font, contains many grammatical errors/typos, and the text is formatted to fill as many pages as it can. Plus, it contains advertising for the author's other books, which are romance novels. No harm in advertising for your novels, but your target audience for that is probably not students preparing for an advanced CPR course.

Very poorly written. Obviously not proofed -- with all the mistakes it was distracting to get to the basic information contained in the text. Contains basic information and not worth the price.

This is an "ACLS For AND By Dummies."
VERY VERY Little significant information, many grammatical errors which make me wonder if the author knows his subject and way too many pages of "nothing." A waste of money in my view. (40 yrs Board Certified Anesthesiologist)
