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.

 Incredibly Easy Book to Use August 27, 2008
This books is a terrific reference for any nurse working in critical care. The chapters are organized logically and the content is easy to grasp with great graphics and illustrations. The accompanying CD would be helpful for nurses studying for NCLEX boards, as well as a review while studying for the CCRN exam. The chapter quizes are comprehensive and help to solidfy the information presented. It's ideal for use as an educator in lectures and teaching moments. I would recommend this book to anyone working in ICU or PACU who want to review pathophysiology and patient care related to alterations in these systems. I also recommend this to clinical educators for the content and simple language and concepts, from which content would be easy to develop.
 Poorly Written. Look Elsewhere June 10, 2008
This is an inferior book. I work in critical care, and this is the weakest of the critical care nursing books I've bought...out of a dozen.
The writing is confusing and leaves the reader with more questions than it answers. It's also out of date.
Not worth it.

While I am a big fan of the "Incredibly Easy" nursing series, this one glosses over areas that need more in-depth explanations. This book will give you a very basic overview of most critical care topics, but it isn't specific or technical enough to get the job done. Good for beginners, but a real ICU nurse needs more than this book provides.
Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy January 1, 2008
Great book for Nursing Educators and for Nurses new to the Critical Care arena. I recommend it for any Nurse who is new in this area of care, especially if your facility does not have a formal Critical Care Course for you as you enter ICU/CCU as one new to thar area.
Incredibly good buy! October 11, 2007
