Synopsis

Goes beyond memorization with a Learn-Recall-Apply style content review to promote critical thinking

This innovative review for nurses preparing for the Certified Neuroscience Registered Nurse exam mirrors the test-format blueprint, focusing on the specific subject matter on the exam. It is carefully calibrated to provide an effective balance of clinical judgment-enhancing content review in the form of unfolding questions, answers, rationales, and hints to enhance the critical reasoning process. Following the review chapters, a practice exam of 220 randomized Q&As can be taken to simulate the actual certification exam.

This “Think in Questions” content review is designed to help readers anticipate the kind of questions that will be asked and to promote critical thinking throughout the exam. Topical “bite-size” sections and plentiful tables and charts facilitate learning and memorization. An introductory chapter includes sections devoted to test-taking skills and practices, specific guidance for taking the Certified Neuroscience Registered Nurse exam, and an exploration of the journey toward certification.
