AACN ECCO: Essentials of Critical Care Orientation

Essentials of Critical Care Orientation (ECCO), from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), is an interactive, case-based course designed to orient nurses on critical care basics, offering two learner paths: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Progressive Care Unit (PCU) tracks.

This course is designed as a comprehensive didactic learning experience for any nurse working with acutely or critically ill patients. The modules cover the diagnostic tools, diseases and disorders, and patient management principles common in the critical care environment.
