Customer Reviews

All "Incredibly Easy! Series are great!

I like all the "Incredibly Easy" books. Explains the entire nursing process and what to do/look out for.

Incredibly Easy Book to Use

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.

Incredibly good buy!

The nursing made incredibly easy series of books are great. Critical Care Nursing is difficult to grasp and this book definitely helps!

Great test review tool!

I love this CD! It is a great way to take a break from studying, have fun and still use your precious time effectively! It is filled with humor and even gives you praise for correct answers. If you answer incorrectly, you may get a pie in the face, or your desk may fall through a trap door in the floor! You can choose 3 different modes: endless lecture, problem patient, tedious textbook torture. You can then pick your content from a list of topics. I use it before our units tests to see what I still need to rewiew! Watch your test grades improve. I highly reccomend this fun CD for any nursing student, or anyone considering critical care.

Get a sense of humor

It takes a light look at a serious and stressful job and teaches you at the same time. I did enjoy learning outside my specialty (CCU) as well as refreshing my memory. Not for those who enjoy white pages full of words..geeerrr puts me to sleep better than Ambien. Laugh, learn and enjoy.
