The revised and updated edition of this core curriculum guides emergency nurses through all the clinical, professional, legal, educational, and research-related issues that affect their work.All content has been revised for accuracy and currency and the organization of material parallels the new blueprint for the CEN exam. The fifth edition also features new coverage of pain management, triage classification, long term complications of ED care, rationales for major interventions, and the pathophysiology of major illnesses and injuries. New illustrations make the material easier to understand and remember.
Consumer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Good resource Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Getting Smart Comment: 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! Customer Rating: Summary: Core content for Emergency Nurses Comment: 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. [...] Customer Rating: Summary: ED Veteran Review Manual Comment: This book is great for the verteran ED nurse with outline coverage of pertinent topics. But, if you're new to the ED, be aware that this book doesn't offer in-depth explanations. Customer Rating: Summary: unable to review Comment: Please see next review. The box arrived without the book-it had to be reordered! Thanx
