From AACN, AWHONN, and NANN, Certification and Core Review for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing, 6th Edition prepares you for your examination with hundreds of high-quality study questions and realistic test simulation. Based on the latest test plans of the AACN's CCRN®-Neonatal exam and the NCC's Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing (RNC-NIC) exam, review questions cover the changes to the Core Curriculum and reflect the latest evidence, essential knowledge, and best practices. A powerful review tool on the companion Evolve website allows you to choose either the AACN or NCC question formats, and review material either in Study Mode or in Exam Mode.
- Authored by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) and endorsed by the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN); and the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN).
- Answers for each question, accompanied by rationales and references for correct answers, enhance understanding of the material.
- Realistic exam practice questions mirror the certification exam content, the multiple-choice format, and the distribution of content.
- Online exam simulation, included free on the Evolve companion website with each new book purchase, mirrors the test-taking experience with questions organized according to either of the two major certification examinations — the AACN’s CCRN®-Neonatal exam or the NCC’s Neonatal Intensive Care (RNC-NIC) exam. You can choose whether to work through the questions in Study Mode or Examination Mode, with complete remediation that includes rationales for both correct and incorrect answers.
