great reference

the organization of this text is very helpful, easy to find what i'm looking for without too many words. great for jogging my memory when i'm busy and want to remember something i havent' worked with in a long time.

Love this book

This book really has an answer for everything. It has helped me on almost every homework assignment I have ever had for my bachelors degree in nursing.

Core Curriculum for Critical Care Nursing

Presented in outline form, this is a well organized and well documented volume. It works well with its "side-kick" volume of practice question sets for the CCRN certification exam.

Pricey

This is an expensive book, however a good resource to keep on hand. This book is set up as an outline. This is not a detailed text covering all the ins and outs of pathophysiology on the cellular level. It does cover pathophysiology but set up in an outline form, not a standard textbook. Easy to read and grasp information.

Excellent resource for critical care nursing

The Core Curriculum for Critical Care Nursing is a concise, thorough review of each body system. Each major chapter not only outlines a thorough review of A & P, it also goes into common disease states within each system and even discusses nursing concerns with each disease. I have used this book for several years personally, and my director has one in the ICU for a resource at work. I highly recommend this book.
