About this title

Synopsis

Why 1 in 4 nurses fail the PCCN exam on their first try (and what you can do differently)...

You may have heard stories from nurses who struggle with passing the PCCN exam. But the truth is earning your certification isn't as difficult as you think

In fact, according to the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses - which administers the exam - 74% of PCCN candidates succeed on their first attempt. This still leaves thousands of other nurses who need to take the exam multiple times.

What sets the successful candidates apart? How can two nurses with nearly identical levels of experience and knowledge perform so differently on the same exam?

Some blame it on poor preparation. Or test-taking anxiety.

But the truth is success on the PCCN exam requires more than just rote memorization or sharp test-taking skills.

It requires strategy. A systematic approach that helps you break down and translate each question into familiar terms, so you can make full use of your clinical judgment and silence exam anxiety.

This book provides you with that strategy.

It combines fundamental nursing skills with proven test-taking methods to help you apply the practical knowledge you already have, instead of trying to memorize answers and concepts. And by using this step-by-step approach, you'll not only gain the confidence to tackle any question on the PCCN exam, but you'll also improve your chances of earning your certification in just one go.
