Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Certification Intensive Review: Fast Facts And Practice Questions, Second Edition

I found this book extremely helpful and loved the Fast Facts, Notes, Exam Tips and Clinical Tips. While other exam prep courses had great content, your book helped me to think more like a NP, and "pull it all together." I would highly recommend your book to any Adult-Gero NP student or graduate.

I graduated from an Adult Gero Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program on 5/9/14 and took the AANP certification exam on 5/28/14 and passed. I borrowed the Barkley CDs and accompanying review book from a colleague, but listening to someone lecture on a CD just wasn't my cup of tea and I didn't even bother to crack the cover on the Barkley accompanying review book. I thought this review book was excellent!!! It was concise and very comprehensive. I probably got through about 180 of the review questions and read about half of the sections in the book. This book really prepared me for the certification exam! My only regret was not beginning my studying sooner because I felt that if I could have read all of the sections in this review book that it would have helped me do even better on the exam. I'd say about a third of my classmates took the Barkley review course and spent $300-400 to take it. I know we all study and prepare differently, but my suggesstion would be to spend the $35 or $40 for this book and read it through. I don't think you necessarily have to get through all 629 practice test questions, but definitely try to read all the sections. Save your money on the review course and try this first. Again, I thought this book was extremely well written and very comprehensive and truly believe it helped me pass the exam the first time around!

I am a AG-ACNP. I mainly used Barkley's review for acute care part of the Certification exam. I needed additional help for geriatric and professional issues part of the test. On AG-ACNP certification, there are 66 questions on professional issues out of 175 total questions. I used this as review book as the additional preparation. I liked every thing about this review book. First of all it served the purpose I bought this book, additional certification exam preparation. Content is organized very well. Its simple and concise and yet covered all the pertinent information you need on disease conditions as well as professional issues. besides it has 600 practice test questions, few of them are repetitive. Over al a great additional resource for AG-ACNP certification.

Beware, there are many errors and incorrect information written in this book. Only use this book to study if you have a solid knowledge-base on primary care medicine. The writer of this book should be embarrassed by the numerous mistakes that are in this book, it seems as though it wasn't ever reviewed prior to publishing.

Overall this was a good reference for the exam. However, several of the answers to the practice questions were incorrect or mixed up. When studying for an exam of such importance, I expect accuracy in the content of review books. They should have done a better job editing this manual before publication.

I would not recommend this book. I bought this book mainly because of over 600 practice questions at the end of the book. Unfortunately I found that many questions were not accurate with wrong answers. For example the author states that Cullen's sign is associated with acute pancreatitis...well, peri umbilical ecchymosis suggesting retroperitoneal hemorrhage, which might be a complication of pancreatitis, but its NOT the first sign of acute pancreatitis. Hemorrhage would be more appropriate answer (Q 307, page 481). Q number 306, author have chosen only ciprofloxacin for anthrax treatment or prevention, when both cipro and doxycycline are recommended by cdc. Also I found many typos.

There are many inconsistencies. For example, under acute cellulitis the books says that erysipelas is caused by group B strep on 130, on page 132 it says its caused by group A streptococcus. For the treatment of cluster headaches, on page 236, it says to treat with intranasal imitrex and oxygen at 12 L/min, on the next page it says use intranasal lidocaine and oxygen at 7-10 L/min. These are just a couple of examples, there are more. These are mistakes that should never end up on a book like this!

I took my board exam today and passed. I had this book and Fitzgerald's book and CDs. I actually did not use this book because I used the other book. But now looking back, this book has a lot of small details that were on the test which Fitzgerald's book does not even cover. I highly recommend this book along with Fitzgerald's.

Excellent supplement for ANCC AGPCNP boards! I took the Barkley live Review Course and used the course and their manual for initial studying. I felt ill prepared for the non-clinical questions on the ANCC exam and ordered this book. It was a great supplement that provided information on more diseases than Barkley provided. It also had a large section on non-clinical information plus 600+ practice questions. I highly recommend for anyone taking the ANCC AGPCNP exam! Well worth the money.
