NP Certification Exam: what you to NEED to know! | The Nurse's Corner

OPEN ME UP!!

Hey nurses, new graduates, and everyone else! 👋🏾
My name is Kimberley and I'm sharing 4 lessons I learned from my nurse practitioner certification exam process. I took the exam and didn't pass on the first try, but passed on the second.

If you haven't yet taken the exam or haven't yet passed, watch this video to get some insight on what steps I took. As promised, here is the study material I utilized over the course of 4 months:

"Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination and Practice Preparation" by Margaret A. Fitzgerald

"Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Intensive Review: Fast Facts and Practice Questions, Second Edition" by Maria T. Codina Leik


Feel free to leave your questions and comments below, and I'll be sure to respond the best I know how.

Good luck and all the blessings to you, nurse!

Has anyone taken the AANP/ANCC exam recently? I'm feeling a bit anxious about it.

[dovematt]

Kim, I passed! I’m grateful for your inspiration and story—it helped greatly. This is all a fairly dramatic process as I now am finding the struggle in the transition to practice. I’d like to say I’m too blessed to be stressed—but I’m stressed. TY! TY for your help!

[conniecrowe]

Thank you so much for giving me your perspectives on test taking. This motivates me to plan my steps before taking the exam.

Dear Kim, Thank you. I will test in 12 days.

[sjackson]

I passed my exam today. I uploaded a video!

[dovematt]

NYC appreciate. Used to live on Henry St. in Brooklyn...I'm in it studying for the AANP and was having a day. Feeling a little lost and overwhelmed with about 2 months before I test, so gratitude for you revealing your struggle. There is a lot of pressure to pass, so it's helpful to hear someone say delay or make sure you are confident before you test. Hold the light for me and gz on you passing and persevering!

Thank you for the video. I took my exam on June 30, and failed. I am struggling with getting it together and studying to prepare to retest.

Hello Kim Kadh, congratulations and thank you for your video. I wished that I would have saw your video before I took my exam on this past Saturday. I failed the AANP. I felt that I was not ready and started to change my date and went online to change it but changed my mind. I suffered with test anxiety as well. I also do the same thing that you do about choosing the wrong answer when I tried to narrow the two down to one. I did not do boatdvitals questions but I plan to this time. I do have the Leik's and APEA books. I did not utilize my Leik's books like I should had but I will do this time around. How long did you wait before you retest? Also how did you get your 15 contact hours to retest? Thank you again for your honest and willingness to help other NP. Lu

Ugh I hate cardiac too. Great video. Congrats.

[sjackson]

Great video. Am currently studying for my boards.

[Harmony_Aesthetics]

Congratulations!! May i ask you did you purchase any new study material when you had to retest? Or did you continue to use what books you had? Thank you

[rnnownp]

Thank you for the video...Im late but congrats... my date is in two weeks

[arabamreekiya]

Super nervous to study for the boards because I didn't pass the NCLEX the first time and I'm nervous the same thing will happen with the boards. Are the exams similar? I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
