Need a good ICU book

[erinnRN]

Hi! I will be starting as a new ICU nurse the beginning of May. I have come from a Transitional ICU but we did not get Swans, alot of drips and CVVH....I was wondering about a good ICU book -- nursing or whatever.

oh, and any other advice for me!

thanks,

Erin

A great reference that I find as a useful tool is -->Quick Reference to Critical Care by Nancy H. Diepenbrock. It's about 310 pages of great information. It's direct, informative and in language easily understandable. Good luck in ICU.

Hi Mark,

Just want to say that I'm so impressed with your notes. It is wonderful that you took the time to do this -- Even though I'm a nursing student, I printed them out and created a book for my reference later in my career - I'm interested in ICU nursing.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Just a funny anecdote. I'm starting in the MICU StepDown on Monday. New older nurse (40yo) and for some reason I lost my mind and accepted a job there. (Actually I'm excited, but scared out of my mind.) Needless to say, I immediately came to this board to see what was being said and what reference books might be recommended. Anyway, I say the MICU faqs and saved it to my favorites to check out later. Meanwhile I went to amazon and ordered a book. I just went to look at the MICU faqs and realized it was the same book I'd ordered. That's a great thing. Must mean I was really interested in it. Now I can hardly wait until it comes in the mail.

Just my little story. I let you know what I think after I get it!

Mark, I've been using your site as a reference for a few months now... ever since I was hired on as an extern at my local community hospital's SICU and was offered a job at a big teaching hospital as a trauma ICU RN. I learned lots from it. I'd write down questions and come home to look up the answers. Just wanted to say thanks! I've bookmarked it.
