Has anybody here used the PCCN Adult Review Course from the AACN? Thoughts? http://www.aacn.org/DM/Products/ProductSearch.aspx?mid=0&listType=5&sortType=Title&searchVal=Product&mediaType=Any&categoryType=Any&keywordType=3&titleType=Any&searchText=pccnod

I used David Woodruff, AACN test plan review questions and Momex media book of questions that I bought for $25 bucks on amazon. I studied for 3 months and make flashcards when I answered the questions wrong. I used the AACN review book as my definitive guide to look things up in. I passed with a mediocre score. Not a lot of study materials for this exam. I wish I had more questions. There are also questions on quizlet.com. But not sure of the source.
Thank for your reply! I ended up purchasing the PCCN review course from the AACN. I liked it and some concepts that were difficult for me actually made more sense. At the same time, though, I wish they spent more time on other concepts.
I agree, there are not enough study materials for this exam. There is so much emphasis on the CCRN exam and I wish it were the same with the PCCN exam. I checked out those questions on quizlet.com...good review but for actual practice, I think the questions are too easy.
I just hope I pass this test on my first try!
Was there a lot of emphasis on 12 lead interpretation? Or should I really just focus on lead location and the type of MI it is? I'm just trying to figure out how in depth I should study regarding this concept.

Hi Nurseseat43,
Would you recommend the audio? I am looking for some audio to listen to while driving but am not sure how effective they are. Is it worth the money or should I look for some used ones? I am happy you passed the first time. Passing is passing. Mediocre score or not, you are a PCCN now. Congratulations!
