This course was an excellent resource to help me refresh my memory on how to interpret ABGs. In addition, it was a great course to learn more information on the benefit and use of capnography. All the case studies were imperative to my understanding and helped me apply the learned knowledge to a clinical example to further my knowledge. I would highly recommend everyone to take this course! Simple, sweet, but highly effective!

I highly recommend this course if you are a critical care nurse in an ICU. Nicole explains everything really well and it relates to current bedside practice. She does not just read off the slides. She also has a lot of case studies that helps really enforce the topics being taught. So worth the money!

I am a new PA and didn't get much orientation to my new position into Cardiac surgery. This course really taught me how to see my patient and take care of them. Nicole is an awesome instructor and the videos are not hard to sit through at all. She is very engaging and presents the information well. I really appreciated how she backed up all of her information with studies and provided the most up to date information available.
