Emory WOCN program question!

[SmellTheRose94]

Hello all! 

So I recently started Emory's WOCN program. I have been watching all of the videos and taking notes, I noticed at the beginning of the videos it will say 'optional reading.' I wanted to know if anyone that went through the Emory program found that they needed this additional 'optional' reading or if the video lessons were enough to sit for the certification exams? I am going to do the reading in the WOCN text book anyway so I am super prepared and making sure I'm getting all of the information I can but I just want to hear from a former Emory student that has been through the program themselves. 

Any input is valued! Thank you!

Hello, I have also done the Emory Program. I found the books helpful. I'm not sure if they were necessary. I'm curious about what you used to study for the certification exam.
