See what students are saying online about previous editions… “Like every FNP student out there I was searching for a good review book....well look no further because this book is the best. I got this book after a fellow student suggested it and they weren't wrong about it. The book is filled with review questions on every topic and the answers don't just give you what letter was right but a rationale for why the one answer is correct and why the others are not correct. Totally would recommend this book!!” —Melissa McCormack “This was an amazing resource for helping pass the ANCC boards. I highly recommend this resource for anyone who wants intensive review before this extremely difficult test.” —Virginia Cashman “Excellent study guide. A must buy for anyone preparing for certification. Thousands of practice questions to get you ready to pass certification.” —Paula Baker
