I was in your shoes a month ago. Just remember that it's just a test and it doesn't show how good of a nurse you are. It's just another hoop to jump through. It's a temporary inconvenience that we encounter. You'll pass! Here's a little video that helped me get pissed to pass it... https://youtu.be/NNZNJAURqRw it should be "Do IT- motivational video featuring RSD tyler

No problem. Just know that Barkley covers more than what is on AACN. For example, don't focus on eye disorders, burns, or anything that isn't on the AACN blueprint. Also, the AACN offers a free online course that is helpful. Don't get caught up on studying the "synergy" stuff either. Best of luck

It's hard because they don't share much with you. There is a 50 question practice test that is helpful as to how the questions are laid out. Just know the blue print well, especially the cardiac and pulmonary/ventilator areas. I used one of the CCRN practice study books and the ACNP practice test from Sally Miller to study. That is how the questions are- They give the info in the question (but they won't give the dx) and then ask you how to treat, ect. I liked it more compared to the ANCC because there not that many ethical question and they were "to the point" clinical questions. Good luck

I have some insight if you want it. email me at [email protected] if interested.

I wish I could give you tips on it, but I can't find anything online. It's like a big mystery to me. Were you able to at least get the free study guide when you applied? Good luck on your test!

Focus on the first 3 chapters in the Barkley review regarding electrolytes, ethics, and reseach. You have plenty of material sounds like.

I'm scheduled to take my ACNP-AG boards through the AACN in a few weeks. Has anyone taken it recently? If so, how is the test layed out? Is it all multiple choice? Also, are there specific drug dosing questions? I can't seem to find any information regarding the test. Any suggestions would be great.
