Customer Reviews

The best ER book around!

I highly recommend this book for ANY nurse in the ER. I'm studying for my CEN, and this is the best resource book I've found so far! A lot of pictures, easy to understand, and it covers EVERY emergency medicine topic!! One tip for studying for CEN: Do not waste time with Q & A books until you have solidified your knowledge base- using a comprehensive book like Sheehy's!!! Once you have the knowledge, then go ahead an do questions!

Great Book

Very detailed and organized, a definite must for any nurse interested in working in an emergency room.

Comprehensive guide to Emergency Nursing

I was required to purchase this book for an Emergencey Nurse Course that I took recently. Very useful and handy reference tool for any one in emergency nursing.

Amazing...

The sheer amount of content covered in this text is incredible. It's the most comprehensive and concise single source of emergency nursing material. It even has sections on communicating for inter/intraagency transfers. Very helpful. It even arrived early.
