Endorsements Don't take our word for it, read what other reviewers say about Intensive Care Nursing. 'One of those rare textbooks that you could actually read for enjoyment! My edition is well thumbed and has proven to be invaluable when wanting to find the answer to a question quickly. The 'Time Out' sessions and clinical scenarios are particularly useful for the more junior staff, encouraging them to think laterally, relating the text to their clinical environment. With reflection being a major constituent of demonstrating competence, these exercises will help nurses to compile their professional and clinical portfolios. I recommend all acute ward areas to get a copy of this book for their bookshelves.' - Jacqueline Mandy Coggan, Clinical Educator for Critical Care, King's Mill Hospital, Sutton in Ashfield 'Intensive Care Nursing will continue to be a market leader for registered nurses with 6-12 months ICU experience. Nurses with many years of ICU experience will also find this text an invaluable source of updating and ready reference.... New chapters on psychological care, interpreting blood results and SARS reflect developments in practice since 2000. The updated clinical scenarios encourage readers to bring theory and practice together and the addition of website support ... is an excellent move.' - Ruth Endacott, Professor of Critical Care Nursing, La Trobe University, Melbourne and University of Plymouth 'Comprehensive, clear and clinically focused, [Intensive Care Nursing] is becoming a standard text for students undertaking critical care courses and as a reference book on the shelves of critical care units… I would advise all libraries and intensive care units to acquire a copy.' - L.H. Gelling, Senior Research Officer, Anglia Institute of Health and Social Care, Anglia Polytechnic University, Cambridge. From review in Journal of Advanced Nursing 'I'm impressed by the quality of writing, the accessibility of the chapters and the comprehensiveness of the book. Philip Woodrow has been very diligent in editing content which has become outdated and substituting it with new concepts, innovations and treatments that relate to advancing the art and science of intensive care nursing. I am also pleased that the evidence to support, guide and inform clinical practice has been expanded and strengthened. As before selected readings and case scenarios are helpful in developing knowledge base and in assisting practitioners in the application of theoretical principles into practice.' - John Albarran, Principle Lecturer Faculty of Health and Social Care, University of the West of England, Bristol 'An excellent book which will be useful to nurses working in ICUs in many countries. The writers have managed to integrate theory with practice to produce and easy-to-read practical text which will be useful for beginning and experienced ICU nurses.' - Kathy Daffurn, Associate Professor and Co-Director, Division of Critical Care, Liverpool Health Service, Liverpool, Australia 'This is an excellent introduction for qualified nurses who are interested in intensive care nursing.' - Brian Belle-Fortune, Nursing Times 'I would certainly recommend the inclusion of this book on the reading list of registered nurses on intensive care courses and as a useful addition to the bookshelves in intensive care units.' - Annie Chellel, Nursing Standard
