Summary: Outstanding Clinical Handbood
Comment: After attending one of Ms. Mimms courses, I bought this book. It is explicitly detailed and offers the critical care nurse a sound base of knowledge. I have implemented several of the chapters into our competency program and refer to it regularly. Thanks to Barbara, we have a reference guide soley for the purpose of teaching new critical care nurses.
