Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Kelli N Desmond, BSN (University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center)
Description: This study guide for the RNC-High Risk and CCRN exam uses multiple choice questions with answers and explanations following each section. It includes access to an online interactive testing program that simulates the actual certification exam.
Purpose: This is a valuable resource for experienced NICU nurses who are preparing for the RNC or CCRN exams. After reading and using this study guide, readers will have an accurate understanding of the format of the exam and the type of information covered.
Audience: A foundation of neonatal nursing knowledge is necessary to benefit from this study guide, making this book appropriate for neonatal nurses preparing to take a national certification exam.
Features: This book describes the RNC- High Risk and CCRN credentials, registration, and test-taking strategies. Questions are divided into sections by body system and provide a comprehensive review of common neonatal ICU topics. Practice exams are included at the end of the book as well as online in formats representative of the exams. Of particular value is an explanation of the Synergy Model, which is frequently integrated into patient care concepts and is integral to CCRN exam content. While this is a valuable review, a neonatal nursing resource book may be necessary as a reference in order to further elaborate on the sometimes complex explanations of answers.
Assessment: This book fulfills its purpose as an exam review and meets a need in the market for straightforward, multiple-choice exam preparation. The information on exam registration and preparation are unique to this book and tailored specifically to the needs of nurses preparing to take the RNC or CCRN exam.
