As the demand for skilled intensive care nurses continues to rise, Karen Ann Thompson, M.S., RN has released a vital new resource for nurses making the leap from general care to intensive care: Pathway to ICU — a practical, compassionate, and educational guide designed to support nurses during one of the most challenging transitions in their careers.

In Pathway to ICU, Thompson draws on her extensive experience as acute care nurse and mentor to provide real-world advice, essential certification guidance, communication strategies, and emotional support for nurses stepping into the high-pressure ICU environment. With a focus on critical thinking, compassion, death and dying, and patient advocacy, this guide is more than just a training tool — it’s a companion for nurses navigating a demanding and rewarding profession.

“To be successful in the ICU, you need to build very strong fundamentals to include critical thinking and skill sets,” says veteran ICU nurse Agi, whose insight is one of several expert contributions in the book.

Each chapter features actionable tips, real scenarios, and curated video resources, making Pathway to ICU a must-read for both aspiring and newly appointed ICU nurses. Whether you’re a nurse preparing to cross into critical care or an educator looking to support your team, this book provides both clarity and confidence in a profession where every second counts.

Available now in paperback and hardcover on Amazon and other major book retailers.
