ANCC exam help

Published

I am studying for the ANCC exam and I was wondering if anyone had any pointers. I have the Fitzgerald book but I also have a few questions. How much should I focus on peds and women's health? Do we have to know exact dosing of medications? Should I be focusing more on ethics? I would appreciate any help :)

I took ANCC FNP exam last month - I wrote a fairly detailed post about it if you're interested. I used the fitzgerald book and the ANCC study book (i purchased directly from the site) which I found was very helpful. It is essential to know the various types of research studies which I could not find in any of my study books. Also know the developmental, social, family theories. I don't remember any questions regarding exact dosage of medications and I believe there was little peds/women's health on my exam - those are not my strong areas so I would remember if there were a bunch of those questions. I also recomend purchasing practice exams from familynpprep.com - they are expensive but worth it. I purchased 5 and took one per day during the 5 days leading up to my exam.

I'm interested in reading your post, cougdogrn. Where can I find it? I'm planning on taking my exam within the next few months. Thanks!
