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

Hi and welcome to AN. Some suggestions:
1. Contact your local nursing schools and see what books they use
2. 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 resource
5. Best wishes
Thanks. Will Check them out

Did you look in the CPNE study guide? I believe Mosby's is the recommended book.
