Anyone here have this certification?https://www.nursingworld.org/our-certifications/psychiatric-mental-health-nursing-certification/
I'm looking to pursuit it. I've looked that the test preparation programs the ANA offers is expensive...Any alternatives in terms of studying or test prep aside from the already expensive materias the ANA offers?

Yes, I just achieved it. It wasn’t easy, but wasn’t impossible either. I wouldn’t bother with expensive test prep.
This books helps:

But Amazon has it for much cheaper.
Good luck!

I agree with Pixierose on the book. I used that and a course that was offered at my hospital. It is a do-able test.

I am taking this test in a month. I don't have a lot of Psych experience but I need it for a job I am applying for to be competitive. Any tips. I have the ANCC book, the momentix study guide, and a another MH test book. Looking for any tips or insight. Is their anything that anyone found super helpful?
