All You Need for Certification Exam Success!

"This is a well written, comprehensive review aimed at preparing readers for successfully completing a board certification exam. ...This is a wonderful comprehensive review in a concise study guide format." (5 Stars)--Doody's Book Review Service

This mega-review, the second of Maria Codina Leik's "trilogy" of NP Certification guides (Family was published in July and Pediatric is due in 2008) covers test taking tips using Leik's unique "question dissection" technique, relevant content review, extensive practice questions, and detailed, current exam information in a "fast facts" style, saving the student valuable study time while providing comprehensive preparation.

Pass your Adult Nurse Practitioner ANCC or AANP exam, prepare for tests in school, or improve in the last semester of your program with:

  1. Photos and physical exam maneuvers that promote visualization and clarify techniques
  2. Organ system reviews divided into four parts; descriptions of emergent conditions, high-yield normal physical exam findings, maneuvers, and applicable benign variants
  3. Tables on orthopedic maneuvers, immunizations, STDs, lab tests, skins rashes, and more to help you organize and recall procedures

  4. Differentiation between Family and Adult Practice with inclusion of geriatric procedures and specifications

Students say: "I took this class in 2003 and I did pass my Adult NP ANCC exam soon after. Ms. Leik's class gave practical information, essential concepts for studying, and core topics on which to focus. I would recommend this class to others as an essential component in ensuring success in passing the certification exam." - Cynthia Milich, CNP

Why the Leik Technique?
Maria T. Codina Leik has been a leading provider of exam preparation education and counseling for almost 20 years. Her company, National ARNP Services, Inc., has helped thousands of nurses pass their certification exams nationwide

Please note: An analogous volume to Maria Leik's series, Gerontological Nurse Certificaiton Review is due in June from Meredith Wallace and Sheila Grossman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best review book out there!!!, December 14, 2008
This review is from: Adult Nurse Practitioner Certification: Intensive Review (Paperback)
This was my third purchase of a review book for both the ANCC and AANP Adult exam. I also bought the Fitzgerald and Millonig, now the TOP 3 when you search for ANP on Amazon. My take: the Leik and Fitz are all you need. Both have hundreds of questions, review sections and snippets of information to make you think. I would even suggest buying these as text books for school and will take these to the office as a source of clinical information. Yes, the books are that good and up2date. The Leik is handier for size and has randomly sorted questions (similar to the exam). Fitz is nationally known (she writes some of the questions). Millonig is compiled by multiple authors. I personally prefer the Leik. All serve the purpose they intend, to get you to think and review what you either forgot or missed in school. Good luck!!!

This review is from: Adult Nurse Practitioner Certification: Intensive Review (Paperback)
This book has a lot of useful information, but I have found too many content and grammatical errors, which make me hesitant to use it.
