Super review guide!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was a GREAT review book for CPAN! Because it has two answer keys for each segment, you can check your answers only, or learn from the rationales. I was able to spend more time on the areas I was weak in, and rationales were all well explained.
Fantastic review

THis book has question and answers with rationales which I prefer when studying for a certification exam. This would be a great asset to add to studying material.

I found this book extremely helpful in preparing for my CPAN test- not only did it brush up my test-taking skills, but I also learned many new tidbits of information I had forgotten along the way!

I have found this book an invaluable tool in studying for the CPAN certification exam. It is also a great teaching tool for new PACU nurses and for seasoned nurses working in PACU. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge base in PACU.
