As a new grad and entering acute care for my first job after just one week of fieldwork experience, this book is such a great help! It makes learning the ropes of acute care less overwhelming with the basics condensed in one book.

Keep the information coming!! I’d like to see some outcome measures being performed from a variety of different settings (eg. ICU/Acute, inpatient rehab, outpatient, etc.).Evidence-based practice is best practice!! Thanks!
