Hi there, would anyone have any book suggestions for a new grad starting in the ED? I've heard of Sheehy's Manual of Emergency Care, but the last edition came out in 2012(?) so I assume the content is outdated now. I'm looking for something content heavy like Sheehy's, but if anyone also has any leisure reading suggestions (like a nurse detailing their own experiences in the ED or as a new grad), I'd like to hear them as well! Thank you! 1 Likes

If you like emergency medicine textbooks you might look at these two: Most people seem to like Tintinalli's, but I like Rosen's. Depending on your state of licensure, you can sometimes get free access to Access Medicine through a tertiary center in your state. (For instance, OHSU library in Oregon.) This can give you access to a laundry list of medicine textbooks on the subject of your choice. 1 Likes

It was written up like a series of care plans Polly Gerber Zimmerman wrote Triage Nursing Secrets, and thats a book I could read again and again and still learn from. It's out opf print, but you can get it on amazon. 0 Likes
