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!
