CHPLN Study Materials?

Published

Hello, I'm new to posting on the forums and attempted to search what I'm looking for first, but was unsuccessful (probably user error, so apologies if this is a reoccurring question.) I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me exactly where to find (to download or purchase) the study materials for the CHPLN examination? A couple of years ago, I was planning on taking the test with my employer at the time and they let me borrow this huge book specifically for that examination - but I can't remember exactly what it was called or what it looked like. There are a ton of books for sale on the HPNA store, but I'm unsure which would be my best option. So, anyone who has taken (or planning to take) the CHPLN examination, what is the "official" textbook OR what books/study guides have proven most beneficial?

Thanks!! :)

I used the core curriculum when I took the CHPN exam and passed on my first attempt. I see there is a core curriculum for the CHLPN also.

There were a few topics that I used another resource to learn a little more about, but the for the most part the core curriculum had the essential info.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for the reply! I did see the core cirriculum, but there were more system specific books on there as well - so I wasn't sure what all was worth it to invest in!

Grats on passing the first try, and again, thank you for the info!! :)
