Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Review and Resource Manual, 5th Edition

I used this to help study for my certification and this was tremendously helpful! Great resource to utilize while working as well!

Excellent info to review to take nursing certification test but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book with so many typos!

This is the ultimate resourse when studying for the mental health certification and also serves as a good review. The material is presented to give the reader a broad overview of the potential content of the psychiatric mental health certification exam. I read the book from cover to cover one and a half times. I felt very prepared for my exam and found that their were only a handful of questions who's content was not discussed in the book.. I passed the test easily on my first attempt. Because the test is so expensive it is vital to have a comprehensive review book like this publication by Kim Hutchinson. As a bonus you can receive CEU credit for reading the book and paying an additional fee.

This book is littered with misspellings. I believe APNA is changing the exam after Sep 2024, so I hope they proofread the next edition properly. I still recommend the content for aspiring psych RNs.

Loved this text—read over the information once and passed the mental health nursing exam with flying colors. Does a great job condensing information and is very readable. I also use this information as a resource when teaching nursing as a professor. Worth the money!

I honestly didn't use this book for the ANCC exam other than looking at the table of contents. It gave me an idea of the areas of the exam. I meant to study, but ran out of time and just took the exam cold. Thankfully, all went well. However--the book is clearly laid out and the topic correspond with the areas of the exam. I gave the book to my neighbor who is studying for the PMH exam and she says it's VERY helpful!

Not a single anatomical diagram of the brain. How could the authors not think of this?
