Books For FCCA?

Published

Which were the main books people used for the FCCA? Were there a few books you used more than others.

i.e. med. surg. , maternity, psych, etc? Also just curious about how many questions are on the test? Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance for all your posts :)

Mosby's Nursing Diagnosis

Med-surg

Fundamentals

That's pretty much it! Oh and I used the CPNE study guide to get a better understanding of what they were looking for.

Thanks for the reply and I apologize for taking so long to thank you my internet has been down. It seems even the least bit of rain messes with my service.

One more question though. The college said that I would need a community based nursing book. Anybody not able to get through the exam without it? Thanks again.

Nope, I don't own a community based nursing book and just found out I passed FCCA. You should be fine with the basics.

Excelsior's academic honesty policy clearly prohibits you from collaboration on the FCCA. Please be careful -- I'd hate to see anyone kicked out of the program for violating policy. Thanks.

I would look up patient safety in my fundamentals reference and get my information from that source.
