Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Elizabeth Sharpe, DNP, APRN, NNP-BC(University of Alabama at Birmingham)
Description: This is the second edition of a comprehensive resource to help neonatal intensive care nurses prepare for the National Certification Corporation or the AACN Certification Corporation examinations.
Purpose: This is a comprehensive test preparation resource that does not disappoint.
Audience: This is a great resource for neonatal intensive care nurses who are preparing for national certification.
Features: An introduction to test-taking strategies provides a nice foundation for potential candidates. Each focused chapter includes test questions that address a wide variety of information within each system with appropriate references. The chapters are system-based, encouraging readers to develop a more global perspective. Each test question includes the answer and rationale. The endocrinology and genetics chapters in particular present a wide array of diagnoses and conditions that may not be encountered on a daily basis. Knowledge of the assessment in these more unusual situations is invaluable. Finally, the book has a full practice examination with answer sheet and rationales accompanying the key.
Assessment: This is a comprehensive resource encompassing a rich variety of test questions, a practice exam and rationales in one place to make preparing for certification as easy as one could hope! There are not many such resources available in this specialty.
