Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing

by AWOHNN, NANN

The result of collaboration between AWHONN, NANN, and AACN, this valuable reference provides essential knowledge on today's neonatal intensive care nursing practice. Beginning with an overview of obstetric care and the infant in transition to extrauterine life, it proceeds into more in-depth coverage of the most common neonatal disorders and their management. Presented in a concise and consistent outline format, each chapter walks readers through the neonatal condition including the definition, etiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatments, and outcomes. It's also ideal as a study guide for those wishing to prepare for certification examinations in neonatal intensive care nursing.

Quite possible the driest, most mind numbing text book out there.
It is all vital information and zero fluff. My Level III NICU considers it required reading during the orientation process.
It will tell you exactly what you need to know in order to function in the Neontal ICU or get your RNC certification in NICU.
Just try to stay awake while reading...
