ANCC 2013...HELP!!!!

Hello everyone! New to this site so I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section or if this is a repeat question. I am writing the Adult NP ANCC for the first time on dec 13th. I was feeling confident up until talking to some of my colleagues who said there was a large majority of questions on health policy, theory, research ect...

Currently I am only using Fitz review book as well as some old notes from my NP program. THe fitz review book has nothing on the above named topics so just wondering what is a good source to review them? Also, will normal lab values be provided? Thank you for your time! Any help is appreciated!

I took ANCC fnp exam last October and passed first time. I studies Leik Review, Fitzgerald Review, APEA Review. As far as labs go, I don't remember seeing any, but for the most part thru your schooling you should be confident with labs. Know anemia and what CBC diff. is associated w each. As far as theory goes, I had a few, mostly what type of research/theory the question is asking. The vast majority of the questions you can narrow down to 2 possible answers. Search the all nurses.com website, there is a TON of excellent information and recommendations.

The physician I work with gave me this advice "Study... and test, leave emotion out of it, you have studied for the past years, performed procedures, patient encounters, research projects, and presentations. Study... And test; you will do great. "

Hope this helps, keep us posted!

Tommy:

You might wish to consider looking at the ANCC (and even AANP) sites for information on P& P as well as cultural competencies.

I also believe Fitzgerald has a link on their homepage to those topics as well. It is certainly worth a call to them if you need to find out more. I did not pass AANP and I am looking forward to the diversity (instead of fear) of ANCC. I have heard the differences between the two certifying boards are not that different. I do recall some P & P also on my previous AANP exam.

Good luck.
