I just passed my CFRN and this book was my main reference for it. Great information if you are new to flight nursing and need a go-to textbook.

By DonnaW

I purchased this book as a guide to critical care nursing and to help with the CFRN exam. This book is very well written and has lots of detailed information. The only reason I knocked off a star was that the book reads like stereo instructions and has small print which only allows for 2-3 hours of reading before you have to put it down and take a break.
