You can't go wrong with AACN Core Curriculum for Pediatric Critical Care Nursing 2nd Ed. http://aacn.org/dm/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?productid=200205&prodtyp=product&subsystem=ORD&itemid=0&mid=0&opentype=win]American Association of Critical-Care Nurses

Are you planning on attending NTI in Boston??
Thanks! I will check it out!
I have been thinking of going to NTI, Boston is my home city, not where I currently live/work :-( but I am thinking it will be a great excuse to go home and a great conference!
Sweet! We could do lunch...

Many years ago I used Mary Fran Hazinski's text to prepare for the CCRN. I read it cover to cover. It was finally revised and has a new edition out. Great reference!
I will let you know!
@tryingtohaveitall, I have that book too, the newer version, little dense but I know I will use it as reference too
