Customer Reviews

It is an excellent book for nursingn students

Detailed exclusive explanations of medical concept. It is also easy to carry and less expessive as well. I hate Smelxzer after I got this book. Adu.

Great book!!

This book is the single most helpful book I have had in my Level-II nursing courses. We're using Lehne and Monahan as main text books, but this high acuity nursing is really stellar and explains things so much more clearly and concisely. Love it!

high acuity nursing

This text was great with all the review questions. It helped to read it and I got an A in my class!

Excellent training resource for new graduates

Filled with self paced modules applicable to the critical care, emergency room, and medical-surical setting, High Acuity Nursing is an excellent clinical resource to supplement orientation & training programs of new graduate nurses. Organized by body system, it integrates A & P, clinical nursing applications, and critical thinking all in one. I used it with my new graduates when orienting them to the IMCU, ED, and med-surg units. They found the information helpful in tying in the clinical content they were learning during orientation and the practical application of it. They rated the self learning modules highly in the evaluations. Internal transfers into the ICU have also found it to be helpful when orienting to that new setting.
