Hi, I was just wondering if any of you are certified in labor and delivery (by taking the ncc exam)?? I am thinking about trying to get certified. Any tips for taking the test?? thanks!

It's been several years for me, but if I remember right, they will give you a bibliography of books to study from and areas of study to go over. The one single thing that I remember that helped relieve my anxiety was to get a copy of their sample test and go over it. They have that available also. It's pricey, but several of us at work were taking it around the same time and went in together on the test then passed it around, if that is possible for you. Good luck.

I am certified in inpatient OB and there are several excellent books and review courses out there to help you prepare. Check out the NCC website...it will give you the breakdown of what is covered in the test, reference material to get to study and other helpful aids. It will also give you the requirements needed to sit for the test.
Good luck
