Succinct, complete guidance on how to safely and competently care for adult, critically ill patients and their families – written by top clinical experts

A Doody’s Core Title for 2019!


Endorsed by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), this acclaimed textbook sets the standard for critical care nursing education. Recognizing the learner’s need to assimilate foundational knowledge before attempting to master more complex critical care nursing concepts, the book features a practical building-block organization that starts with the basics and logically progresses to advanced topics.


Bolstered by helpful tables and essential content cases,
AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing is an essential tool for clinicians at the point of care, and those preparing for CCRN certification in critical care nursing.


AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing, Fourth Edition is presented in four sections:


The Essentials presents core information that new clinicians must understand to provide safe, competent nursing care to all critically ill patients, regardless of their underlying medical diagnoses.
Pathologic Conditions covers pathologic conditions and management strategies commonly encountered among adult critical care patients.
Advanced Concepts in Caring for the Critically Ill Patient moves beyond the essentials and includes information about specific pathologic conditions that require specialized critical care management.
Key Reference Information features normal laboratory and diagnostic values, troubleshooting guides for hemodynamic monitoring, summary tables of critical care drugs, and cardiac rhythms and treatment guides.


Learning aids include Knowledge Competencies that can be used to gauge progress, Priniciples of Management to summarize key concepts and “Essential Content” case studies with questions and answers to further reinforce the learners’ knowledge.

Book is good but reduce stars for missing pages
The content is good, but word of caution to buyers to please check all the pages of your book! Make sure to check they all printed before the return deadline expires so you can return immediately for a new one. Otherwise, you will end up like me with a brand new book but couple of missing pages. Disappointed with this factory defect.

I just switched from MICU to CVICU and it’s a great quick reference for all of the drips I’m not used to.

Ya girl was able to pass with flying colors!! I did decent on everything....except the moral and ethical things. And I blame that on the trauma of bedside nursing and families torturing loved ones. I also blame covid. And my unhinged mouth... any hoo, whoopty woo, I passed with about a month of studying from this book!

I started reading this as a back-up for another CCRN review book. I like the mini-case studies in each chapter. Very helpful. It is also serving as a great reference book for other diseases not listed on the exam test blueprint.

As a new grad in the ICU, I think this book will not only be helpful as a resource but to also study for the CCRN certification. I give it 4/5 stars because there is a random section of pages that are upside down in the respiratory section.

Este libro realmente tiene todo lo básico y esencial para repasar y reforzar los elementos necesarios para atender pacientes en una sala de cuidados intensivos, es una herramienta útil para enseñar a los que recién ingresan y proporciona elementos a los que ya tenemos un tiempo en el mundo del cuidado crítico

This book is great. However, I wish I could have gotten the kindle version along with it so that when I want to study on the go I don’t have to haul the book around with me. That way I could hav me just the my iPad.

Fantastic. Used this and the flash cards for my exam. Just realize that the chapter questions and the exam questions have a different difficulty level. It says that before the first practice exam.
