An excelent and easy to read text for critical care nursing
By on 1999-09-21
Hudak, et al., does a wonderful job on making difficult concepts easy to read and understand. I recommend this book to all of the nursing students who need an eye opening view of critical care nursing.
Finishing School For Critical Care People
By AZ86LFJD2EHFR on 2003-08-30
This is NOT an introductory text. I used after I finished my NREMT-P course, nurses should consider it after a year or two of practice. It has a wealth of information, but starts off assuming basic/intermediate knowledge of EMS/CC care. Having said that, its completeness is quite astounding - as I read it, I found myself understanding with great clarity many, many things that had been sketchy or unclear prior to reading it.
Review of Hudack

I felt as well as several of my fellow nursing students that this book was very difficult to read.
It is very extensive information wise, almost overwhelming.
critical care nursing: a holistic approach

I found this book after finishing my paramedic class. It really helped me with explaining some things i was sketchy on. Very well organized and easy to read. (Especially the heart failure and MI chapeters)
Critical Care NURSING: A Holistic Approach - for NURSES only.
By A2HSWIKW5DXIV8 on 2005-10-16
I am required to use this book as part of a Critical Care Emergency Medical Transport Paramedic class (CCEMTP). This book contains a great deal of very easy to interpret information, but it is not sufficient for EMS personnel. While I've enjoyed reading this book in general and I would continue to read this book to better my personal knowledge level, I would not use it for future educational purposes unless I was a nurse seeking to increase my training level. I do wish that the authors would get together and come up with a Critical Care Paramedic book to use for EMS training; their writing style is easy and comprehensive and there is no randomness to their book - they get to the point and give you the information you need.
The disc that comes with the book did nothing but repeat the information in the book; there were a couple of tests, but I didn't find any of the disc contents to be particularly helpful. And their pharmacology information is limited; it would have been nice to be able to read more about critical care pharmacology in one book as opposed to having to purchase a completely different book.
I do like the fact that at the beginning of every chapter they give you a long list of websites that you can visit pertaining to the topic you're about to read. It gives you another source- an educational second opinion- to refer to.
