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

Specializes in MICU.

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.

Specializes in CVICU, Transplant ICU, CCRN.

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.
