High Acuity Nursing

This book has been very helpful to our new nurses who seem overwhelmed when they first get out of school. Self-paced modules help them incoorporate their knowledge with the types of patients they take care of. I have used this book for seasoned nurses too. They like the validation they get from being able to pre- and post-test. A great teaching and learning tool for all nurses looking to review or to upgrade skills.

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.
