Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Review [With CDROM]

I used this book front to back to prepare for the AANP exam. I did find a few errors, but the explanations were so good, that I KNEW when there was a mistake and was able to actually build some confidence, instead of fretting about it. I worried a first, because I was only scoring in the 68% range on the practice tests in the beginning. On the test that counted...I was in the top 6% nationally! I used several prep books and think this book was the most helpful. The CD ROM was very helpful. Thank you for all the work that went into writing this.

I benefited from the practice questions and exams. Excellent resource. It offers a good review of common problems/clinical issues with review questions following each topic. The CD-rom is useful, too, and worked perfectly for me. It contains three practice exams with 175-207 questions. I was scoring around 72% on the practice exams and passed the AANP exam yesterday! I would definitely recommend it.

Mosby did discover that the CD is flawed somehow but they will send you a new one at no charge. Don't let the issue of the CD influence you in terms of the book. It is a great review book. There are lots of test questions- more than most other review books, along with rationale. If you have difficulty in getting the new CD( hopefully now all the books have the revised CD) please get in contact with me ([email protected]). Denise Robinson, book editor

This book is excellent! I was truly amazed at the number of questions I could answer on the certification exam because I had read about that particular disease/treatment plan/follow-up in this book. I cannot stress how beneficial it was for me in passing the exam. Not only was the information critical to my success, but it has helped me in my practice as a new FNP. The book is organized to help with retention. Diseases are overviewed in a "bullet" method and then immediately followed by review questions. I wish I had been able to share this book with all of my colleagues who took the exam!

Comprehensive review by system and includes common problems seen by FNP's, as well as sections for wellness and professional issues. Each chapter is concluded with 5-10 sample exam questions. To encourage the use of test simulation (time, atmosphere), the author's have included 2 practice exams at the end of the text. Also, additional tests questions for each section are included to allow for focus studying of "problem areas" prior to taking the practice exams. Appendixes include test-taking guidelines and important clinical information for review (ie. medications and pregnancy risk, Pediatric antibiotics, etc.)
