I am a active paramedic in high volume EMS division and have worked in CCT and the ED. I have finished all my classes for the excelsior college Paramedic to RN bridge and now just have to take the CPNE. I am solid on medical knowledge but taking and passing the CPNE seems like a totally different monster in it self. Any recommendation on the best NANDA Nursing Diagnosis book to buy and use for the test. More and more I wish I would have done a traditional school but now I am through and just need to finish so any help would be grateful. Thanks

Contact your local nursing schools and see what books they use2. Visit the nursing school book store.3. Barnes and Noble has a pretty impressive nursing book selection. 4. NANDA diagnoses are very standard - so any book that delineates the reasons behind the diagnosis should be a good resource5. Best wishes
