Update- I took exam and passed last week! Posting my prep in case it will be helpful for anyone else: I used Mosbys, C-EFM prep by examprepconnect (with lots of online prep questions to do) and purchased an online 3.5 hour prep video course that I watched a couple days before exam by Nurse Builders to make sure I knew the content. I studied for 2-3 weeks, usually for 1 hour per day and more on weekends, especially towards the last week. I also used NCC free online EFM strip game online to make sure I could ready them fairly well. NCC also has a paid EFM pre exam question bank that you could consider taking, though I did not do this as I ran out of time and didn't want to psyche myself out. I came in with zero OB experience. If you find yourself in a position like me, you got this!

Thanks for the advice. To clarify, yes I am taking a job at an academic hospital as an OB/GYN ARNP and they require the NCC EFM certification for all providers and residents (MDs in training). They do not require this of their nurses, only providers. I will be training for the next year but it is still required of me before I start.

Yes I am. Because I will be seeing OB follow ups and it is better to be prepared than not? It is a requirement of my institution.

Yes, sorry forgot to add - I am a seasoned RN but new clinic OB/GYN ARNP.

Hello all! I am required to get efm certified and have been looking at resources and studying for a week and half now. I'm feeling very unsure and wondering if you all have any resources, advice, tips to share on this exam and successfully getting certified?! I'd love to know! Thanks in advance. Disclaimer: I am coming in with zero experience in OB. ?

Hello, I am currently preparing for the c-efm exam and saw this post. Can I ask what worked for you and how it went for you? Thanks in advance!
