PICU/PCICU Resource Books

Specialties PICU

Published

I am a PCICU nurse and would like to get a couple of good resource books. The unit I am in now is both PICU and PCICU but they will be separating in December. I've been told by a co-worker about a core curriculum in pediatric critical care but I'd like to have more suggestions if anyone can help me out.

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.

I love Core Curriculum personally. It's a terrific reference for peds critical care, and has a very concise section on cardiovascular conditions; the fourth edition is from 2007. Another fairly current resource is

Cardiac Surgery, An Issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics(Rauen and Petersen) and it runs about $40.
