5.0 out of 5 stars Most accurate book resembling the CEN Exam, November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Challenges in Emergency Nursing: A Self-Study Certification Review (With Diskette for Windows) (Paperback)

I found this book to be the most useful book in the market today for reviewing for the new CEN computerized exam. The questions were very similar to the ones included in the exam and the layout of the material, i.e. questions on one page and the answers with rationale on the flip side of the page made it extremely user-friendly. This book is valuable especially for those nurses fearful of computer tests in that a sample test of 250 questions is included on the CD-ROM enclosed with the book. This allows the computer-shy nurse an opportunity to simulate taking the test in a computer setting. I have tossed out all my other numerous review books from over the 12 years and will only keep this book in my review library.

This review is from: Challenges in Emergency Nursing: A Self-Study Certification Review (With Diskette for Windows) (Paperback)

This book had good content, but for someone studying for the CEN exam, it is way too basic. This is an easy to use book and I liked the format, with the answers on the back of the page of questions.

The computer program that came with the book was fun to use and reduced my anxiety about taking the CEN on a computer, but again the questions were too easy.

Concise,well organized book. Alittle disappointed with diskette. I thought it would be more in the format of the CEN test.
