TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preface A1 - Delgado, Sarah A. PY - 2024 T2 - AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing, 5th Edition AB - This text provides the reader with evidence-informed content about the care of acutely ill patients and their families. Written by nursing experts, this book sets a standard for progressive care nursing education, supports preparation for national certifications, and can be a resource to address uncertainty in patient care delivery. The organization of the text recognizes the learner’s need to assimilate foundational knowledge before attempting to master more complex progressive care nursing concepts. In addition, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses affirms this book’s value to the AACN community and especially to clinicians at the point of care. As the editor, I am grateful for the time and effort that AACN’s team put forth in providing this validation. The title continues to carry AACN’s name, as it has since the first edition.
