I’m registered to take the ANCC exam for certification in community
health / public health nursing on October 2 in Boston. Could anyone
recommend a good text or texts to prepare for this exam, as there is
no prep course for this test. My background is a RN BSN. I’m a nurse
in a large homeless shelter in Boston.

Considering that my background is working in a homeless shelter, I’m
confident about the public health portion of the exam, but I’m
concerned that I may be lacking konwledge and clinical eperience in
other areas for which my background does not prepare me.

It’s been a while since I took the exam, I got a basic text on community
health nursing. Which shelter do you work at, Pine Street? I’m originally
from Boston, got my ASN from Catherine Laboure, BS from Tufts.

I seem to remember ANCC having some info on the test, categories of
questions. I can’t believe there is no prep book you can buy.
