Any ideas on a good text book for diseases pathophysio, s/s, tx ,meds, labs...

Hi also looking for job in icu/ccu. What made you other exp. rns choose this specialty. I have some exp. in various areas and would really like to explore icu, but at the same time I am wondering if I have what it takes, not a new grad with everything fresh in my mind anymore. During an interview what could I expect ? Last time I had one they just kind of asked me about exp. and when I could start. I understand icu may require/ ask a little bit more than that.

Wonderful advice, I wish I had gotten it when I first started on a tele floor:yeah:

Ok so most of you are having nervous breakdowns because you have to wait 2-10 days. When I took it we all had the same number of questions we were packed into a huge room it took 2 days and then we had to wait approx. 6 weeks for the results. Not at all fun esp. not since I had already started as an intern--would have been horrific if I hadn't passed to leave the position. This is about 25 years ago and I still remember the stress when the envelope came, was it large or small envelope that meant you passed? Good Luck to all of you and go out and do something fun while "waiting"
