Emergency Nurses Assocition

This book is great, this course is the best. I learned about 30% of my current nursing practice from the two years I spent in nursing school. Probably a full 10% of my nursing practice comes from this book and it's associated two-day course. The course and the book cut to the heart of the most important work I do as an Emergency Nurse. The system of ABC assessment, intervention, reassessment is a template that helps guide me through the most stressful and complicated patients, regardless of show more whether or not they were involved in a traumatic injury. I can recall walking into a room with a messy and dying patient, and it was adherence to the protocol outlined in this course that helped me to take control of the situation and likely helped save that patient's life. I can't recommend this course any higher to registered nurses in general, but emergency nurses specifically. show less
