House of God is a good classic read. Not nursing, but hospital related.

Start reading CEN material, that will give you the basics of the conditions you will see in the ED

Great, thank you! Would you recommend any specific CEN resources? Or just any?

www.eMedBooks.com has some cheap material that might be of use to you ??‍♂️?

I haven't taken the CEN in about 10 years, but the previous version of this book was excellent preparation for it, and for emergency nursing in general:  

The 7th edition was published last year.

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.  

I could not get a lick of sense out of Sheehys manual. 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.
