Doesn't read like a text book October 1, 2009
Sean P. Mcdowell (Brandon, Ms United States)
I bought this book thinking it was just like a text book typically found in college, but it not but it is a reference book. Quick and easy to find material..but again it is a reference book.

I have recently transferred to ER and this manual has been most helpful. I recommended to one of my collegues and he purchased the book.

This book is a good companion for others, but it is not very easy to read since the entire book is written in outline form.

Lovely book full of stimulating information. I like the soft-cover as it doesn't hurt as much as the hard cover when you have to smack yourself on the forehead to stay awake!
Core content for Emergency Nurses May 19, 2008

I would consider this the "Bible" of Emergency Nursing. It is respectable in that it is written and published by the ENA (Emergency Nurses Association). It has DOZENS of contributing authors from many different clinical/specialty backgrounds of Emergency Nursing.
This book looks at the "core" knowledge base of Emergency Nurses and puts it in one place. While it's not a "casual" read, it is thorought. It's not written like some of those difficult "outline" books - there are actually paragraphs devoted to each topic. The index is pretty good also so you can look up specific references in the main text.
It is a bit big and heavy. Probably not the best to carry in your work bag, but definitely worthy of taking up the needed space on your desk.
Of course all the "traditional" content is here: cardiac, respiratory, neurology etc. Then there are more specific sections such as: Professionalism, Toxicology, Distasters, Substance Abuse, Sexual Assault and Forensics.
One of the BEST things about this book (besides it being FRESH off the press as of Summer 2007) is that it was written FOR Emergency Nurses BY Emergency Nurses - people who are actively involved in Emergency Nursing care.
Many of the listed authors and contributors I am familiar with via my dealings with the ENA and I can speak to these people's authority on their given topics.
Finally, this book is so comprehensive that I have used it as my main outline when I wrote and developed my own 2-Day CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse) exam review course. I believe this manual (in addition to others I used) gives the most comprehensive view/curriculum/core content for Emergency Nurses and thus it is my "Bible" as well for the CEN classes I teach.
