Great book for Nursing Educators and for Nurses new to the Critical Care arena. I recommend it for any Nurse who is new in this area of care, especially if your facility does not have a formal Critical Care Course for you as you enter ICU/CCU as one new to thar area.

This software is outdated. I couldn’t run/install the software on Windows XP, or Mac OS(newer AND older versions of Mac). The tech support number is out of service. The Springnet website is defunct, it redirects you to its parent company, Lippincott. You’re better off ordering the book, which I’m sure is a lot of fun, however, I won’t know that until my CD-ROM is refunded and I order a copy of the paperback. Caveat Emptor.

I was stunned to see the format the questions are presented in, described as “fun” on the box.(In addition,I thought this CD-Rom was going to be in the same format as other “Made Incredibly Easy” books, but it is simply a set of review questions). Cartoon images show a nurse (or student) studying, in class, or with a patient(this isn’t the bad part). If you answer the question correctly, the teacher smiles, fairy dust comes down on your cartoon character, the patient congratulates you, etc. Here’s the stumper though, and I wonder who thought this was a good idea: If you answer the question incorrectly, the teacher’s eyes bulge, her face becomes enraged and she screams at you, your classmates laugh at you, the cartoon book in the library becomes large and threatening and screams at you, the enraged patient yells at you, or any variation on this theme. This presentation would be horribly insulting to any professional. Unfortunately, I opened my CD-rom and cannot return it.

I bought this book from Textbook TBS thru Amazon back in March of this year. I didn’t have a chance to go thru the book until today and realized that the CD-ROM was missing from the book. I know I should have examed the book when I got it but since the seller has very good rating I trusted that the book would be complete as it was listed as “new”, Hopefully Textbook TBS will tell me how to go about obtaining the missing CD-ROM but I don’t have much faith in them now.
