ICU websites

WOW!
You started with the right one.
I made copies from the web of Marks FAQ for our orientation notebook. I gave a new CCRN the professionally printed copy.

The AACN has updates. Short, sweet, and helpful.
Getting our hospital to adopt them may take some time.

Also excellent clinical updates:

Thank you Gwen.... very resourceful and helpful websites!!

Hi this is my first posting. I have found some wonderful resource materials for our small ICU. We are an 8 bed unit We receive everything, vents, cardiac, send out for angio's to the city, complicated surgical etc.
What I am looking for is developing a patient satisfation surrey for the QI committee I sit on. Does anyone already use one that is effective?
I would be interested in any assistance THanks Cindy in Ontario, Canada

I just went through and added almost all of them to my favorites to review as I"m studying for my CCRN exam.
