Thank you ?

@anchorRN Hi, Im a new FNP grad and recently hired for a family practice office as well. I was wondering what has been your experience so far and if you found any good cheat sheets that has helped you. I read the comments and bought 5 min clinical and uptodate as suggested. If you or anyone here have any notes or any other recommendations that could help me along the way would be greatly appreciated! My email is [email protected]

Hi, I’m a new grad FNP 9/2020 and recently hired at a family medicine office. I was wondering if anyone had any books or apps with diagnoses and treatments that you recommend reading ?

Leik Codina is great too

@Aimee Getter I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t pass! I just took the ANCC FNP today for the first time and passed it. I agree with @clam151543 and you should do the Barkley DRT. I did 4 and scored between 65-75 on them. I also really liked examedge bought 25 tests and took them all. You should def take a break and relax then stick to one study guide like examedge and do only that. You already studied so many different things so now pick one and do that only for another month or two until you can take the ANCC or AANP again. Good luck!

I chose ANCC because I'm doing PMHNP next year and only ANCC offers certification, so figured I should just do ANCC for FNP as well. Also, I may want to be an educator as well and the ANCC would be a better option.

I did Barkley review at my school a couple months ago, listened to all the audios for each chapter and did all questions. It was very informative and I liked it but took a very long time to do it all. I also did FNP mastery but didn't really like it, felt like a lot of questions were either too easy or too hard. I recently been doing examedge 25 tests and leik Qbank. Also did the ANA questions like I mentioned before. Out of all of them I honestly prefer Leik. I was thinking of also buying boardvitals since almost done with the other 2 qbanks and still have a little over week left until my exam but wasn't sure if its needed because a couple people said boardvitals qbanks were harder than the ANCC and not very similar to it.

Thanks, thats good to know about the the ANA questions bc I didn't do too well on it so was a bit worried.

Hi, I didn't take it yet, changed it for 11/21 LOL! I bought the ANA questions, did it all in a day, it was good for practice but its only 1 cumulative exam with 100 questions and 4 quizzes (assessment/diagnosis/clinical management/professional role) between 36-93 questions. Also the questions are drawn from a pool of only 240 questions so you will see repeated questions on the quizzes.

@msjune thank you! You think its worth it for me to buy the ANA questions and do that next week or finish the rest of the examedge tests? My test is on 11/16.

Hi, I'm taking my ANCC FNP exam in a week, took the Barkley review a couple months ago at school and for the last few weeks been studying exam edge but scoring between 324-386. @msjune I saw that you took examedge as well, did your scores improve before you took the boards? I bought the 25 test package and took half so far. Also saw that you wrote that board vitals and ANA were similar to the actual exam. Thinking of maybe buying ANA questions and studying that instead of examedge. Super nervous and wondering if I should postpone and or register for AANP instead. @Katrina Scott saw that you messaged that you could send notes and emailed you. Would love if you or anyone could email me study notes.
