Please Recommend A Critical Care Book

[EyesForward]

I graduate in December, and have heard the textbook we use for critical care is not too swift. Can you recommend a book that comes to the point and gives you the gouge on critical care nursing? I'd like to find something on the shorter, but more direct side, rather than anything entitled "...for Dummies". Thank you!

Thelan's Critical Care nursing diagnosis and management by Linda Urden (isbn: 0323032486). May be a bit more than what you were looking for, but it is pretty comprehensive.
