Product Description

Critical care nurses are tasked with providing the highest-quality care for critically ill and unstable patients. With potentially life-threatening circumstances hanging in the balance, many nurses often find themselves needing clinical information at a moment’s notice. PEPID Critical Care Nursing Suite, or RNCC, lets nurses access a plethora of information without leaving the patient’s side. Developed with the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists, this comprehensive point-of-care reference and drug database was formatted specifically for use in the ICU.
