Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not what I expected.
Very disappointed. Poorly laid out. Content is OK but not a good resource if you need information quickly. Not a good choice for nurses new to emergency nursing.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An excellent resource
It's an excellent pocket reference, though you will need a fairly large pocket being the book is at least 1" thick and weighs a couple of pounds. It is a complete reference that includes assessment and procedure information. It would be invaluable to the new ER nurse and a handy reference even for the experienced nurse.
