I did independent study and used the study book that my friend received when she attended a two-day review course. I also used the Core Curriculum book, and I recommend http://www.pearlsreview.com. It's a great review for any certification exam you might be taking.
Best Wishes!
Actually the manual of obstetrics helped me out a lot...Just a few hints...Know the difference between amniotic embolism vs pulmonary embolism (that question still haunts me to this day!lol), h&h values of a neonate, side effects of an intrathecal narcotic 12 hours later, and I received alot of question about diabetic pregnant patients. I know there are several versions to the test though. Good luck:yeah:
Oh Im taking it soon.....and I am stressing out. Not sure if any of you could still answer this thread, but I have the Perinatal Nursing book as well as past tests that I bought from the proed source. Im curious about the number of questions on the test....as in the minimum and max. Thanks in advance!!

Just registered to take the computerized exam, and will be doing independent study with a practice exam.
I've seen recommendations for the following texts- Which helped you most if you've taken the test recently?
AWHONN's Core Curriculum for Maternal-Newborn Nsg-- Have looked at it, seems very dry, outline-style. My friend has the last version- is there much difference between that and the 2010 edition?
AWHONN's Perinatal Nursing (Simpson et al)-- Have seen great reviews, but published in 2007- will that matter much?
Manual of Obstetrics (Evans)- saw it as a recommendation, but is medically-focused, not nursing-focused.
Eeek!
