I purchased the review book and the certification sample question book from the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses in March of 2013. I have been a member of that group since 2011. A great deal of knowledge was acquired after reading the review book. I learned just how specialized my practice had become in the past seven years on the Pulmonary Unit. To my surprise, the sample question book was completed with 84% accuracy. The actual certification exam was completed in just under two hours in March of 2013 and evaluated to be in the top tenth percentile.
The books were donated to the Pulmonary Unit after successfully passing the certification exam. I have related my thoughts about this experience with several coworkers and encouraged them to use my books to certify. Several of my colleagues have utilized the books and became certified. This year the Pulmonary Unit has significantly increased the amount of Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurses.
