MICU reading material

Hi, i'm interested in the MICU and was wondering if anyone can point me to resources or reading material I can read up on which would give me an idea of what it's like to work in a MICU, and information about what knowledge/skills are needed especially in the MICU?

Thanks

    Absolutely!

    Best online resource: index

    Best books (imo) - AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing, AACN Advanced Critical Care Nursing, The ICU Book (geared toward doctors, but still full of information that is valuable to nurses).

    I also really like Critical Care Nursing Secrets, a book that uses question-and-answer format. I find that I can get the essential information quickly from this book.

    This book is wonderful and many nurses on this site have read it. It is call: Notes on ICU Nursing: FAQ Files from the MICU by Mark Hammerschmidt. I got it off Amazon. The writer also have a website, google it. GREAT, GREAT information. Best Wishes.
