Rezensionen
The book scores 5 stars on Amazon

I'm newly qualified, working in paediatric high dependency. Got this book a few weeks ago and now I have it with me every shift. It is pocket sized but doesn't miss out any information. Very easy to understand, so useful for someone newly qualified. I've looked at some of the other books on the market, and they are too in depth. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone working in PICU or PHDU.

This excellent little book will become a classic for all children's nurses caring for critically ill children. I randomly tested the content by looking up information in the index and was rewarded with a broad and up to date range of contents. The book will be especially useful to staff nurses new to the specialty where the book's brevity, depth and transparency will come into its own. I have already recommended the book to many of my colleagues and loaned it to them for their opinion and comment. The feedback so far has been universally positive. The authors must be congratulated for their splendid book. Jerry Masterson, RGN, RN (Child ) Dip Ch.

Excellent pocket book which is written in an easy to follow style covering the essential points for anyone working with critically ill children.Very easy to follow sections with all the essential information immediately to hand.

This book is great to have in your pocket at work so you can dip in and out when you want...it was my bible when I first went into PICU!!!

This is an excellent book. It is pocket sized so it is excellent to keep in your pocket whilst at work. It gives excellent explanations of all aspects of intensive care. It is easy to understand even for a beginner!

I recently started a job in PICU and was recommended this book as a useful guide. This book has helped me so much and I take it on every shift. Working with critically ill children can be overwhelming and the required knowledge is vast, this book is a fantastic aid in managing that knowledge and enabling you to help care for patients effectively.

I also feel that this book would also help nurses caring for children in a non-intensive care setting.

Wonderful book for a newly qualified nurse working on a PICU. Very easy to use and handy size to carry about. Highly recommended!

This book has some really useful information for everyday questions on PICU; it's easy to use and is suitable for all nurses in this setting - be it newly qualified or switching areas.

Excellent pocket book which is written in an easy to follow style covering the essential points for anyone working with critically ill children. Very easy to follow sections with all the essential information immediately to hand.
