Re: Need a good ICU book
For those that have Thelan's "Critical Care Nursing 5th Edition", I have a question for you:
Is the depth of knowledge in this book fairly representative of what you need to know in the MICU/SICU, or is it overkill?
The reason I am wondering is because I start orientation in the MICU/SICU next week as a new grad and I am trying to assimilate this book by covering the major system alterations by spending a week on each [three cheers for vacation]...and I just want to make sure I am making an efficient use of my time.
