Ancc adult psychiatric np exam

[ralph41]

hi,

i just joined allnurses.com. i took the psychiatric adult np exam with ancc... didn't pass the first time. i took the barkleys review course and it didn't help at all! i reviewed the course religiously and looked over it 3 times and guess what? 90% of the exam was on something totally different nothing related to what barkley reviewed...very dissapointed! i also took the ancc review course and it didn't help much either. so my question to my colleagues out there, is there any review out there that really gives realistic test question examples that can help one pass the boards? your help is greatly appreciated.

And they confirmed that they saw thesame questions ? From the 1st time they took it ?

They won't be identical questions, just similar. Every test is a bit different.

I hope it is okay to post this here. I am thinking of becoming an adult psychiatric nurse practitioner and I am wondering where people received their education and how well it prepared them for the exam. I already have my BSN so I am wondering specifically about the adult psychiatric np training. Thanks much guys.

Family PMHNP is now the only option. The adult only track is no longer offered just as the adult np (ANP) track has been discontinued. They are trying to prepare all specialties across the lifespan.

I did my training at Drexel. It was a great program.

There is no longer any such thing as an "adult" psych NP (for new people looking to become NPs, that is; the people who already have the certification are able to maintain it); adult and family psych NP roles were eliminated a few years ago as part of the restructuring of advanced practice nursing, and only the "lifespan" (child/adult/geri) certification is offered.
