for a newly qualified nurse about to take a post in a busy intensive care setting i have found this an essential to buy. i have found this book to contain an essential variety of clinical information tailored specifically toward the nursing profession. this in itself could make this a valuable asset to any book shelf yet somehow i found this text an amazingly informative and comprehensive read after only a short while. only a brief glimpse through this book has confimed my ideas that this is an ideal text.
