This book and CD-ROM were invaluable in passing both the CEN and the CFRN on my first attempts. The question and answer format is challenging, and very true to the actual CEN. The CFRN section is a great supplement to the core curriculum for preparation. The rationale for each answer provides the student with a strong learning base.I found 2 incorrect answers in the book, one has the wrong letter answer, and the other has a misworded question. The practice exam on CD-ROM also has the misworded question.I highly reccomend this book to both first-time and returning examinees.dori@lawsons.net
I also found this book extrememly helpful for CEN review. The questions were very similar to CEN. I passed on my first attempt with a high score with less than 2 years of experience! The trauma review was very good. However, if you work in a hospital with a cath lab, you may find the questions on thrombolytics difficult because you probably don't use them often. The CEN is geared to community hospital ERs, not the Level-I trauma centers and regional medical centers, so some of the questions may seem bizarre. Even so, the book covers the test well and is a great prep.
Holleran's CEN review is an excellent resource for nurses who wish to prepare and review for the emergency nurse certification exam. Nurses working in any ER will find this information helpful whether they work in a community setting or a level 1 trauma center.
Back in 1999 when I was originally studying for the CEN exam, I found this to be a good resource. It is a shame that the publisher and/or author did not choose to update it. As the ENA core curriculum has changed, this has simply an out-of-date resource. Either of Sheehy's textbooks or the CEN Review Manual, 4th edition which is sold either here or on the Emergency Nurse Association's website (if you're already an ENA member, you'll get a pretty decent discount) would be much better resources.
Good book if your want a basic outline to have for a list of possible subjects that may need to be reviewed. Questions are good, but a little outdated in some aspects. I would buy it I you are just looking for more questions to do.
Had answers circled in book-was useless !
Is this price wrong? Talk about inflation! I used this CEN review written by same author eight years ago, and it was good. I came online to buy one for a friend to encourage them to take the exam. Come on, $ 300.00. Really. Pretty ridiculous
