Psychiatric nurse certification exam

Published

I am planning on taking the psychiatric nurse certification exam. I know the ANCC website has a study guide book that one can buy. Is that book sufficient for studying? I have also read that the Springhouse Psych Certfication Review book is good also. What are anybody's opinions? Thank you in advance for any help!

I used the ANCC guide plus another guide whose name I can't recall. Both helped.

i read the ANCC book cover to cover a few times, and then researched more in-depth any topic i wasn't 100% about. i thought the exam was very challenging and really tested your knowledge, but the ANCC book prepared me well. good luck!
