I used this book along with other books to study for the ANCC FNP certification exam (and passed). Many of the questions were VERY specific and would never be tested on a certification exam. I also found that there were some questions that seemed to be related to bedside nursing or inpatient care. The testing strategies at the beginning are helpful. However, taking these exams did get me frustrated because I consistenly scored below 78% on each exam. I found that there was very useful information in the question rationales. Practicing tons of questions was helpful in studying for the exam. I would recommend this book, but beware of the typos and know that you probably won't get great scores on the practice tests.

This book is truly terrible and an insult the nursing profession. I plead with the authors to remove the book off the shelves or IMPROVE IT NOW! The answers are wrong and outdated , one answer told me to put a woman on HRT for hypertenstion and hyperlidpidemia, this information is atleast 5 years old. And in the tests in the back of the book, they don't give rationale for the answers... they just refer you back to the chapter... WHO HAS TIME TO REREAD THE CHAPTER. The questions are also very poor and very specific. IT will make you doubt yourself, even though you know what your talking about.
