I recently applied to take the pharmacology certification test given by NAPNES (national association for practical nurse education and service).
has anyone taken the test? was it very difficult?
I bought a pharmacology review study guide from barnes and noble, but I'm not sure if I need to be studying at a "tougher", more complex level or if this guide will do. the guide covers all bases as far as I can tell, even general dosage calculations. however, it doesn't highlight some areas that I would imagine the NAPNES test would require: mechanism of action, drug classification, etc.
I have been a nurse for 7 years and feel fairly well-educated about pharmacology, but I just want to make sure I'm prepared to take this test!
FullMoonNurse I'm interested in testing for this certification. Can you please post if you get a response and whether you take the test as well. Thanks!
