ALL YOU NEED FOR CERTIFICATION EXAM SUCCESS!

This mega-review 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 you study time while providing comprehensive preparation.

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

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

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just passed my ANCC for FNP, April 24, 2008
By 
This review is from: Family Nurse Practitioner Certification: Intensive Review (Paperback)
I just passed my ANCC today and here are some books I wish I had in school. The following helped me to pass the ANCC because they are most like the test. First, Margaret Fitzgerald's book Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination and Practice Preparation is a great must have book for school and test prep. If you can, take her live seminar or get the CDs. Next Leik's book Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Intensive Review:Fast Facts and Practice Questions, great book, good to synthesize all of the Fitzgerald info. The Hollier/Wirfs book: Certification Prep Exams Practice Test s and Questions with Rationales 4th ed is a great prep for questions, don't bother buying the review book by Hollier, it is too basic. Next, make SURE you buy the Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Review by Zerwekh and Claborn. This is the only review book I could find that has a CD rom . The CD is almost like the actual test and some of the questions are very similar. If you start off by buying these four books you will be in good shape. Good luck on the exam!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good and Bad: Too many errors, September 28, 2007
By 
This review is from: Family Nurse Practitioner Certification: Intensive Review (Paperback)
Be careful with this book; while there are a lot of excellent exam tips, there are also many errors and/or typos. At times it feels as if the book were slapped together. The result is that you have to scrutinize every sentence for veracity. Not an entirely bad thing :~) Also, the outline is not entirely clear at times.

An example of a blatant error is:

"Exercise-induced Asthma

Premedicate 20 minutes before the activity with two puffs of an inhaled steroid or mast cell stabilizer."

Yikes!

I found the Fitzgerald book to be much better, and while I will continue to study with this text, I will review the Fitzgerald text during the week before I take the test.

Good Luck on your exam!

5.0 out of 5 stars NEW-PRINTING ANP & FNP -errors CORRECTED, March 23, 2009
This review is from: Family Nurse Practitioner Certification: Intensive Review (Paperback)
Recently, I spoke with the author (Maria Leik) on the phone to tell her that I passed my FNP exam. I told her that I was going to write a testimonial for her book (I think it helped me pass the test), so she asked me to please pass on this message. Here goes...

She said that the errors on both the ANP and FNP Intensive Review Books have been CORRECTED in a new printing by Springer Publishing. The books that are now being sold on AMAZON (and other vendors) are in their latest editions with NO ERRORS. She said to make "sure that you purchase a 'new'copy!!!".
