ACNP study prep advice?

Published

Have started the fist steps into a ACNP program for a post-masters certificate. Already having my FNP shaved off some of the requirements during the program. Still doesn't mean I can't be more prepared so...

Question: Since I am out of the hospital sitting I need some study prep advice (books, DVD, etc)...

For the program actually. I need to start bringing myself up to speed. Probably a review for certification would do??

We used Harrison's Internal Medicine and Marino's ICU Book throughout the program. I liked the Marino book but found Harrison's too hard of a read but definitely a great resource. There is a book by Thomas Barkley called Practice Guidelines for Acute Care Nurse Practitioners. I didn't buy this book but it looked like a good resource. There is also a book of exam questions by Barbara Todd called Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination: Review Questions and Strategiers. Todd's book is probably a bit old now but she has some really tough sample questions that will help prepare you for the exam.
