Hello everyone, I also used APEA Q bank and the PSI practice test for AANP. I passed back in Feb of this year. However, I used Fitzgerald which was nice for knowledge but too detailed for exam-prepping. I think Maria Codina Leik FNP certification intensive review was most helpful to me. I would say though you can't just used one book. Using different review books really helped me.

Hello FNPinNY-Joe, I am still studying for the AANP and would appreciate any help. Have you taken the test?

hey i check this site out and it's one of the best. Thank you

i took the nclex 3 times before and hoping to take it again in december maybe. I also have a fulltime job and still working. It's hard studying and working. I think we need to focus on pharm calulations, infection control and prioritization. lots of practice on these areas

thanks this is sooooo helpful.

rate(ml/ml x concentration(unit/hr ------------------------------- time 60min/hr xweight in kgs a client to receive dopamine@12ml/hr, the solution has D5W 250ml/hrmgs of dopamine. she weighs 133lbs What is the dosage in mcg/kg/min this patient is receiving? NB:flow rate 12ml/hr SOLUTION 200MG DOP/250CC D5W. to convert lbs to kgs in weight is 133/ 2.2= 60.45kgs ***find concentration of dopamine in 1cc. 200mg/250mls=xmg/1ml. x= 0.8mg/ml concentration is 0.8x 1000(mcg per 1mg=800mcg/ml. 12ml/hr x800unit/ml ----------------- time 60min/hr x60.45{wg in kg) =2.65mcg/kg/min

hi i am happy to be a part of this group. pharm cal- would u like to try this calculating flow rate- dose(kg/min) x wt in kgx 60(m/hr) -------------------------------- concentration of infusion (units/ml) eg.a client weighs 130lbs and has a dopamine order at 8mcg/kg/min.what rate should the infusion pump be set for a solution of 400mg in 250mls of D5?

hello i a hoping to test in november or early december. I am als a retaker, what book are u using to study? have you target areas like infection control, delegation and managementand priorization?

hello are you a foreign trained nurse or did you train in the US? Would u like a study partner?

hi what are you using to study, it appears that it's soo hard to pass in new york.

okay, after using saunders and fail i thought i would try mosby. i don't really know, i guess i'm just depress.

i think we should study together, learn from each other and pass this exam. i get so tense knowing i'm taking it for the 4th time, will i pass this time? i got 265 questions last time and fail. Lots of pharmacology calculations that i got wrong. Also lots of prioritisin and infection control. which book u using and which state are u in?

hi everyone i am a foreign nurse who failed nclex 3 times, i am in need of serious help. i need some advice as to how i should go about studying. should i read off the entire saunders book? i had lots of questions on pharmacology calculations and infection control. helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
