I'm searching for the very same thing. There's a study guide for the herbalist one but I haven't been able to find anything except the core ciriculuum for the APRN exam ??

Yes I conquer. CNS are used mainly for staff Ed in my state.

Because although I live in a state that recognizes CNSs as an APRN I'm feel I'm not as marketable as a NP. I'm also limited to working in my state. If the job I was promised while in school does not pan out working with a CNS and NP in palliative car...

There is a ANCC CNS exam study group on FB if u r interested. I just finished my program and took my exam this past summer. Passed on the first try thank god but I do wish I had done the NP tract in grad school :-(

Well it's been a while but I'm super excited to announce that I passed the cert exam yesterday. What a HORRIBLE EXAM!!! So broad and such ambiguous questions. Had to read and reread to figure out what was being asked. What I found helpful in passing...

Hi Everyone. Looking to create a Thread for current CNS.

Hi Tyloo. I'm done as of December 2012 abs degree was conferred 1/15/13 wooohoooo!!!! Now trying to buckle down and study for my cert exam!!!!

Hi I would strongly suggest you joining the Facebook group ANCC CNS STUDY GROUP. it's a group where ppl who have taken or are planning on taking the exam post info and questions. A number of members recently took the exam and posted general feedback ...

I've seen a slow Afib in the 40s. I think the pt was dig toxin!!

Last day of Certification product sale on ed4nurses.com. David Woodruff site. 50% off certification products with the code certified at checkout!!!! Good luck!!

Hi Maddy08 I'm so happy for you. Thanks for the info on the resources that were most helpful for you. I'm in my last semester and I'm so stressed about this exam although I told myself I wouldn't. How long did you take to study for the exam??

Just got an email notification that David Woodruff is having a certification special on his website. 50% of cert products for the next 48 hrs. Today is 9/18. Hope someone can make use of that great deal!

I have used David woodruff CDs as well as the AACN CDs as well. However the blue print did change since I took my exam not by much. I think a few disorders were added and a couple taken out!! Anyone interested PM me!!

Hey Everyone Just found a CNS study group of Facebook. "ANCC CNS STUDY GROUP". A place where you'll find others in the same plight as yourself and with study strategies!!! Soooo psyched to find them!!!

Hi Jessica!!!! Where are you studying??

Happy CNS week to all current and future CNSs!!!

Hey fellow CNS students, wishing everyone a successful semester. There is a CNS Terri Ares completing a study nationwide regarding CNS experience in graduate school but unfortunately she hasn't had enough replies. If you haven't received/completed th...

Found out last week myself. Didn't know we had a special week :-)

LMBO. Are you serious??? CNS stands for Clinical Nurse Specialist. LOL!!! But I'm sure you knew that right.

Hi all I'm actually making up my mind to apply to the post masters tract for fall 2013. Just looking over the requirements right now. I'm still working on finishing up my MSN this fall locally as an Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist!! Can't even...

I know some of us are just starting MSN or nearly finishing up MSN but I'm curious if anyone plans on on pursing a DNP at some point!! I swore I was NEVER going back to school. But now I'm changing my mind!!

I'm PCCN certified. The only one in my hospital. I used David woodruff and the AACN review when I did it back in 08. Both great products. Try finding a partner to split the cost with. A study buddy of sorts. Or maybe a group from your unit.

STTI is Sigma Theta Tau International. I'm hopefully done this fall (fingers and ties crossed). Ur university seems very popular and only good things heard about it. If I go back it's my first choice bc it has both an educator and Palliative care op...

I take it you are a NP in NY!! I'm a NY transplant in CT now. Currently working on my MSN/CNS!!! Thinking of applying for DNP program next fall maybe!!
