In Need Of Great CNS Review!!

Published

Hello to allnurses! I am in MAJOR need of a study method/materials in order to help me pass my adult gerontological CNS exam! I have now taken it 2 times and get really frustrated bc I don't know what I got wrong or how to fix what I am doing to not pass!! I have the momometrix book and flashacards and I recently bought the 2500 review questions (which didn't seem helpful).

I really want my third time to be the charm ☘️

Thank you so much,

Abby

I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time. I passed the adult CNS exam way back in 2006 and even the peds exam I did in 2011 so I don't have any recent experience.

However, do you remember the little spiral bound book about the three spheres of the CNS scope? That is what I used in conjunction with Mometrix

I do still have that. Thank you! I will look at that tomorrow.

I used the NP books for my review. You many want to get Leik or Fitzgerald for clinical content and use your Hamric for the CNS piece. I passed adult acute CNS on the first try. Also, go to the ANCC website and look at their resources. I hope this helps. Have you logged onto facebook? There is a CNS support group for boards.

Hey what do you mean by "retired"? I have the mometrix book but I don't think that was very helpful.

Well unfortunately I took it for the third time and still didn't pass. I am so deflated and have no clue what to do for reviewing because I started studying/reviewing three months prior to my test. I need a review course but I don't think they offer one.

Never mind. I re-read your post. You are actually wanting info for AGCNS. I'm an adult and peds CNS.

Have you considered asking at your college for advice?
