4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference manual for all nurses, May 21 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Manual of Critical Care Nursing: Applying Nursing Diagnoses to Adult Critical Illness (Paperback)
I found this manual to be very useful in day to day clinical applications. The manual is clearly organized according to systems, methodology, signs and symptoms, assessments and plan of care from a medical-sugical patient, to a cardiology patient to the trauma patient. In the ever changing clinical setting and the large variety of etiologies, this manual can be a valuable tool.

This review is from: Manual of Critical Care Nursing: Nursing Interventions and Collaborative Management, 6e (Paperback)
Critical care can be quite intimidating, i found this book to be instrumental in overcoming my fear and intimidation on the matter. It is an excellent book that covers the MOST IMORTANT disease processes in trauma setting. At times, it may be a little to in depth, but that is ALL that it is guilty of... which sounds fine to me. Buy one, it will help you, especially with EKG rhythms... its entire CV section is very vast and it specifically elaborates on ALL different dysrhythmias found on an EKG.

Very good book, Aug 4 2008
By Primadona - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Manual of Critical Care Nursing: Nursing Interventions and Collaborative Management (Paperback)
I didn't give it five stars cuz i used the book for a really short time and i borrowed it from jefferson's library (no, i wasn't a student there, i just had access to the library cuz i externed).i used this to supplement my critical care course cuz my instructor didn't teach/didn't know how to teach. Also, i was working full time in school and didn't have time for the textbook. This book had all the important points. i looked through it during lectures and it had everything the instructor lectured on and more. I compared it to mosby's and i think this is better than mosby. if you don't have money to buy the textbook and can get your hand on this book, i say get it. It's easy to read, well laid out and an awesome resource. i found it very helpful for that 8week intense course.
i know swearingen author's that medsurg manual, i didn't know she did the one for critical care till i came across this book at the library. IMHO, if you want to get a little manual for critical care, get this.
The only think i didn't like about it is that i wish it was more compact like the mosbys, you really can't fit this into your pocket or labcoat. if you're looking for something that's very small in size, this isn't it. But if you're looking for something good on content that will help you pass the class, then this is it.
