Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Must haveThis book is a must have if you are trying to study for the CEN. It is a wonderful resource for all things related to Emergency nursing and basic info related to nursing in general. Rating:  - What a disappointment I purchased this book because the ENA Core Curriculum has gone to a new edition and used copies don't seem to be available anywhere. (Have been trying to get one since June 07.) This book seems to skim over many important topics and I find that although I haven't yet completed my BSN, I already know most of the information in the book.

So far I have made it to page 451 (out of 800+) and I am rather disappointed. Many of the nuances that could make this a great text simply aren't there--such as tricks of the trade and drug info and more background on conditions. In addition, there just doesn't seem to be any life to this book. Ok, granted it is a textbook---but I have read textbooks before with some life in them, and this ... Read More |
