Hi there! I don't have a CD to sell, but I just wanted to share a strategy I used...
I just passed the CPN last month, and I too did not want to shell out the money for the review books. I purchased an app from the app store that had a like 10,000 questions. I would just answer questions, and from my incorrect answers, I formulated a list of topics I needed to study.
In addition, I added topics I KNEW would be covered on the exam, such as developmental milestones, Piaget, Erikson, vaccination schedule and play types. I dug out my old nursing school notes and used those chapter notes to study these items, as well as did some active learning from Google searches.
I was terrified to study for this exam without a study guide or outline, but in the end, this is what worked for me.
Good luck!
Yes the questions were very similar. Very NCLEX-ey, but there were NOT any questions where all the answers were correct, which is the most correct... Thank goodness.
I have an iPhone an in the app store search "Pediatric Nurse CPN Review". The app is free and you get 10 trial questions, but you can buy 1000 more for $9.99.
I'm so glad I saw this. I am literally sitting here on eBay trying to avoid buying expensive study guides. I've been looking for weeks now. I mean I'd imagine it's all the same material, but I'm always afraid I'm not going to know something new that may be on the exam.
I will look into this app. Thanks!

I am interested in taking the CPN exam and I do best at studying when I have an audio aid.
My facility does not have the Pediatric Nursing Certification Review Course Audio CD and will not reimburse us for study aids. I would rather not spend the $130 if I can avoid it.
I was wondering if anyone has these CDs and are finished with the CPN exam and willing to send them/sell them?
Thank you in advance!
