As a newly hired MICU nurse (still anticipating graduation from nursing school) this information is incredibly empowering for both patients and their families. For me, it is a Godsend. I cannot wait to continue following your work.
Sincerest Thanks.
Glad you found it useful! We will have more talks coming out soon on a lot of MICU related topics.
