A great book for learning. It is written in an easy to understand outline. Written for nurses to understand and use on a daily basis. I use it for a quick reference, as well as for deeper understanding of the many topics found under critical care nursing. It is being used in Prince George Hospital as the main "textbook" for the critical care course. I highly recommend this book to all levels of nursing.
