Book Description
By the 1990s, it became clear to many in the nursing community that certification for respiratory nursing practice was desirable, even necessary, but that this could not take place without a carefully designed CORE Curriculum. This book, nearly a decade in the making, sets out such a curriculum. Put together by an expert team of respiratory nurse practitioners, the book includes 42 chapters, each blindly peer reviewed by at least 3 people for clinical content and timeliness. The book will therefore be essential for all nurses seeking the expertise needed to care for persons with respiratory disease or compromised function. Respiratory Nursing should be read by all respiratory and intensive care specialists, related health care professionals, and teachers and students in graduate and undergraduate nursing programs.
When we began the CORE for Respiratory Nursing, its intent was to:
- Provide the basis and direction for clinicians who provide direct clinical care across all settings
- Create a foundation for development of staff education and curricula at the undergraduate and graduate level
- Serve as a resource by which respiratory nursing practice could be evaluated and
- Provide the basis for the development of a certifi cation process for Respiratory Nursing
I believe that this CORE has met those objectives that RNS envisioned a decade ago
