CGFNS preparation help

It is against US copyright law to post the questions here.

Best bet, is to look at the Saunder's Comprehensive Review if you need more help in a specific care. The book is excellent for that. The material that is covered onthe CGFNS exam is quite different in content from the NCLEX-RN exam, but you will find as much information as you need with that book, in addition to the one that CGFNS sends out.

Hi Suzanne,I was reading NCLEX books abd I saw the difference between CGFNS and NCLEX questions,so i thought i should read other guides this is why I wrote the previous thread.

Thank you

The exam is only given several times per year, it is not offered like the NCLEX-RN exam.

Hi. newbie here.

I passed my cgfns way back 2000 and practiced with the cgfns official guide almost exclusively - meaning after i finished answering the book i, started again from the beginning MAKING SURE my present scores were better than the previous (i answered the book three times over!).

The cgfns guide rationales weren't enough for me so i supplemented it with Saunders' Comprehensive Review book w/c was a big help, everything was beautifully outlined and those "little pyramids" throughout the book were so handy.

If you still got the time to read...I HIGHLY SUGGEST this small red book, The Merck Manual of Medical Information (home edition), its like your MS/OB/Peds/Pathophysiology books in ONE. Whenever i wanted a quick "review" of a certain disease, or lookup their "most common" manifestations, or find out what G6PD deficiency is...this is THE most accurate, simple,complete reference i have ever used.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
