Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Review

Rating:
Summary: I do not feel that a lot of thought went into this book.
Review: I am currently studying for the certification and feel that this book does one thing well, that is forcing you to buy another review book. The Emergency review section is 10 questions on bug bites. What about emergency fluid and electrolyte, Burn or, 12 lead EKG reviews? The test taking skills section was rudamentary. I really feel cheated for my money.

Summary: Excellent review book with up to date information
Review: I have the 1999 edition of this review book. Every topic is fully covered, and the rationales are all a paragraph long with great explanations. The information in the book is up to date and current. There are tons and tons of difficult and challenging questions. Topics covered are growth and development, health promotion, all the body systems, emergencies, research and theory, and lots more. I would suggest this book for any FNP candidate.

Summary: Thorough, easy to read,
Review: Overall, a very thorough, excellent resource for cert. prep. The answers and rationales section provided me with an opportunity to assimilate and recall needed review information without bogging me down. This review book, along with a review course assisted me to pass my FNP exam.
