I just recently passed the CEN exam and I credit this book primarily. I've only been in the emergency department a little under two years and a year ago I realized that I really needed a resource that detailed everything an ER nurse should know. I bought this book then and have been reading it over the following 9-10 months to solidify my knowledge base and prepare for the CEN exam. I will attest that everything on the CEN exam was covered in the pages of this book, but even better, after having read the book I feel much more confident about my practice as an ER nurse. I would suggest any nurse working in a ER to have this book at their disposal.

It was for school. It was actually laid out nicely and easy to read. For a textbook I didn't hate it.

Great book for new nurses, especially during orientation, this gives you rationales, tips on why certain treatments are ordered, it will help you anticipate and advocate the necessary plan of care for your patient. Highly recommended
