Customer Reviews

Not very practical
The "Review Outline" at the beginning of each chapter is pretty worthless. Lot's of words but no substance. The Review Questions are OK & I am continuing to study them despite finding some infuriating. eg:
In Chapter 9, Medical Emergencies:
All of the following may cause an apparent life-threatening event in a pediatric patient except:
a) Seizure disorder
b) RSV
c) Munchausen's syndrome by proxy
d) All of the above
Even after discovering that the answer is d), I still don't understand the question!!!
If I pass the exam I'll probably give it another star but I wouldn't recommend it as your only resource. Get Hollerans' Air & Surface Patient Transport Principles & Practice textbook.

Don't waste your time or money
This review book is filled with typos and incorrect and outdated information. The included disc with sample tests has incorrect answers and question scenarios for the wrong numbered questions. Whomever edited the book and CD should be ashamed. It is very suprising that the name Mosby is associated with this book.

Pleased at what I expected!
I did enjoy the book quite a bit because what it was supposed to provide is a review of what you should already know as a nurse. I have been working as a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Department for 14 years and the information was helpful in preparing me to take the CEN exam. The only reason I am taking it now instead of before is because it is a requirement now in the ED I work in. There are some typo errors, but if this is the only complaint I have to say to get over it. I would recommend this to anyone who has experience in the Emergency Department and just needs to review information which is what the book was supposed to provide.
