CPEN exam

How did you study and what materials did you use to study for the CPEN exam? I already have the DeBoer's CPEN review book.

    I used the DeBoer book (an earlier edition) and already had ENPC and PALS. Those resources prepared me well! But that was back in 2010. LOL

    I thought the questions in the Deboer book were way too basic and easy. I had that one and the official CPEN question book and the official book (and the exam) were WAY harder. 

     

    Also, ENPC is a great prep as mentioned above. I did the questions here and took ENPC closely before my text: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/certified-pediatric-emergency-nurse-cpen-review-manual_emerg-nurses-assoc/2525389/item/7078030/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2tCGBhCLARIsABJGmZ6iE68XmQQVcy2btfZ1oh2enk0iD5EusaTr0GebXUrxd1UfLEhsTrYaAoa7EALw_wcB#idiq=7078030&edition=7624472

    I'm studying for this now and have a test date in about 2 months. 

    I have the Debar book as well as the book from the ENA that I plan to complete before the exam. Any other suggestions?

    (side note - I have PALS but not ENPC. I work in a general ED which includes Peds patients but I am not Peds specific. I just have a strong interest in Peds)

    I worked in several all-ages EDs and ENPC is so valuable! I would encourage you to seek out an ENPC course at some point, some states even offer grant-funded courses. I paid for my first ENPC course out of my own pocket. 

    Best of luck on the CPEN!!
