PNCB

Has anyone taken the PNCB exam for 2015 or 2016? I am trying to find out what you felt helped you study? I am studying the book by Dr.Flagg and Dr. Sloand and the Mosby's online course. I am mainly going over the questions and rationales. I also heard yesterday that PNCB picks target topics each year like "genetic conditions." Did you experience this ( a topic that seemed to be hit over and over again)?

Thank you. I am getting al little nervous. When I take the mosby's test I am scoring right at 69% I don't know if this is good or bad? Remember when you took the NCLEX and if you scored in the 60's you were doing great! Well I don't know if its the same for the NP boards.

Thank you!

I had to google 'PCNB' to figure out what it was. Your thread has been moved to our Pediatric Nursing forum to increase the chances of receiving a reply from someone who has taken this exam. Good luck to you!

I had a study book, which like you - was questions and rationales broken down into categories. I found it to be much like the NCLEX. Are you already working in pediatric nursing? I simply quickly reviewed stuff I see every day and really studied the topics that I am not as familiar with and do not see on a regular basis.

I passed the exam easily. :)

Good luck!

From what I've gathered on reading past threads it looks like developmental milestones have a ton of questions.
