Review:

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is awesome

T.J. · December 3, 2024

This book is great for paramedics as much as nurses. I'm a paramedic instructor and it is a recommendation for my medic students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, small print

D.P. · March 13, 2022

Liked the book content. The size is perfect bc it fits in a lab coat pocket. Unfortunately to squeeze all that content into the perfect size book, the font has to be small. It’s Just a little too hard for me to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money!

D.Q. · April 26, 2021

Great resource for new ICU nurses and nurses studying for certification. I use it as a quick reference for my senior nursing students during their high acuity rotation.This is my second copy. I also have the last edition. It’s is worth the money.D Quin DNP

3.0 out of 5 stars Great quick reference; Poor page binding

J.R. · September 18, 2025

This book has excellent information and is a great quick reference. I am giving it three stars because the binding is poor and the pages keep falling out. The information is great, but not helpful if I keep losing the pages. I really hope they fix the binding problem, because I really like this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars I believe the book is missing important info

T.L.H. · February 14, 2023

I referenced the impella and use of heparin but the book doesnt mention practical usesIm still thumbing thru it but believe it’s missing some information

1.0 out of 5 stars Has no real usable information

M. · April 27, 2023

I’ve been in the ICU now for three weeks now, and constantly struggle to find any helpful information on diseases or meds related to my patients. It’s 50/50 if this book even covers a subject, and when it does, it’s in the most basic way giving almost no helpful information. Not AT ALL worth the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate description of item

P. · April 21, 2023

This item was sold like the price of a new book. It is damaged and was not in the description of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have!

T. · September 11, 2022

A must have for a nurse!

Very useful!

A. · September 16, 2023

This is a great resource for Critical care nurses. It has overview of common ICU procedures and conditions. As the author said in the preface, this is not meant to replace a textbook. I love it and my co-workers bought their copies too!

So helpful as an ICU nurse

C. · August 4, 2022

By far my favourite nursing purchase. I bought it when I started working in the ICU and it always comes in handy! It’s so organized, the diagrams are so helpful!!!! I highlight important parts, add sticky notes etc. Highly recommend
