I can't say enough good things about the ICU faqs. They have ALL been a huge help. Just thought you might want another endorsement.

Thank you so much, you totally rock! This is the kind of stuff I wish I received in Nursing School, but obviously did not.
Many thanks.

Thanks for posting this!! I'm starting my first nursing job in the ICU in 2 weeks and I'm scared to death. I hope this helps.
