AACN has books to study with. I used the Pediatric, but I'm sure they have Adult available. Try their website.

If you don't learn well, from outlines, like me.

use this book.

I used AACN's practice exam book and CD (which reminds me, I must send them to my brother-in-law). Both are a serious of 200 questions with answers and rationale. I did very well using this stategy. Good luck.

As a side-note, I think the test has a rather bad rap. I've only ever known one person who failed it. Overall, I found the questions very basic straight forward critical care stuff.

I used a test book and tapes back in '96 from Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio. You can order them at greatnurses.com.

I watched Laura Gisparus' video series and read her "pearls".

Ditto on the Laura Gasparis stuff -- I listened to her tapes while I was driving, washing dishes, etc. My Ex thought I was CRAZY; but, hey, it worked for me! She is way funny, and I still remember the things she said! That was MANY moons ago! I think I did it in 1999
