Prepare students for their neonatal intensive care nursing certification exam with the only exam review developed in collaboration with three leading nursing organizations! From AACN, AWHONN, and NANN, Certification and Core Review for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing, 6th Edition prepares users for the 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 users to choose either the AACN or NCC question formats, and review material either in Study Mode or in Exam Mode.
