By this publication, we wish to give nurses a tool to improve patients’ care, always keeping the person we care for as the main focus of our job. The Authors’ Group Preface In May 2015, me and two co-authors were contacted by Springer’s editor, offering to travel this route. We accepted with enthusiasm, but at the same time with several perplexi- ties. We decided to enlarge the group, and started working to define essential concepts to be considered within the manu- script. Day by day, the project gathered consistency, and the path we wanted to offer to readers became clear in our minds. Nursing care in ICU is complex and requires continuos competences and knowledges update. As in other contexts, both basic and advanced competences can be found in ICU care. The book is directed to students and newly employee ICU nurses, but also to experienced ones. We aimed to under- line the importance of basic aspects in ICU nursing, in the past often disregarded in favor of more technical approaches. In our advice, today’s ICU nurse is a very complex professional. Technical, assessment, relational, team working competences are all required to face daily challenges. This is what we tried to offer within this book, together with the consciousness that it only constitutes a part of a larger view. The author’s group comes from different ICU experiences around Italy. Trying to get an advantage of it, we networked each other, giving mutual supervision to the forthcoming viii Preface contents. At the end of this travel, I think we all somehow grew up from the professional point of view, and learned more. Our wish is to give a similar feeling to our readers.
