FNP Boards Exam | How I Studied and Passed on the First Attempt (AANP)

Disclaimer: This is what I recommend. You can still pass without using the resources mentioned. Also, nothing mentioned is sponsored. You have to put in work to reap the benefits. Also, I forgot to mention in the video to join the FB group "AGNP/AANP/ANCC Nurse Practitioner Study Group"; it's a wonderful, supportive NP community.
I'll see you on the other side FNP-C ;).

I'm about to take the exam in 10 days---this was THE most helpful and encouraging video I've watched. I'm CLAIMING that "C" after my name. Congratulations!! I can tell by your bedside manner you'll be beloved by your patients!!!

[@NurseAggz]

thank you Cyndi!!! go an ROCK that exam girl! you're amazing

[@stephanieesposito3221]

Just passed the AANP FNP National Certification Exam November 2, 2020! I appreciate the advice in this video and wanted to tell you. For anyone out there who feels lost or overwhelmed by resources listen to the advice in this video!!! Similarly to NurseAggz I recommend reading the Leik book once, highlight what you want to review, then go back and read what you highlighted a second time, paying close attention the exam tips in each chapter. Then, purchase the Walden Bronze Crash Course a week before your exam and listen to it twice. That's exactly what I did and I passed. I studied for a total of 4 weeks after my graduation. Don't forget the questions in the back of the Leik book and READ THE RATIONALES!

[@NurseAggz]

woo hoo! congratulations Stephanie! thats AMAZING. I hope you're still celebrating!!

[@Oshaky76]

Thanks for the advice because I’m definitely feeling overwhelmed! I Just finished class this month and want to take my certification while it’s still fresh in my head. I will do exactly as suggested by you and NurseAggz! Thanks again for the encouragement and advice!

[@yazmin444]

Hello Aggz I just wanted to let you know that I follow your study plan and I passed my exam on the 29 of this month thank you kindly for your help. Gid bless

[@bhigh5949]

Thank you sooo much for your guidance! I passed the first time I took the FNP exam. Here’s what I did: I did Leik’s questions twice (I didn’t read through her book- only referenced it if I did not understand something), Walden’s Crash Course review, and I added Shaira Cohen’s Review to the mix … and wah la! I believe everything coupled together nicely and really helped me. Thank you again for spreading your knowledge! You were the ONLY one who really helped me 😊

[@DNP820]

Cohen helped me with the APEA predictor in school

[@maggiebischer1745]

Hi Nurse Aggz! I just wanted to come on here and say THANK YOU for this video. After I graduated, I wasn't sure exactly where to begin studying. After watching this video, I decided that I was going to do exactly what you did and I PASSED my AANP AGNP exam today on the first try!!!! Seriously thank you so much for this video and all of your advice. There are so many different studying options out there and I think this is the best combination (and most affordable!). Walden + Leik + taking the AANP practice tests is the key to success. Thank you x10000!

[@NurseAggz]

Yay! Congratulations Maggie. This made my day 💕

Thank you!!

[@dendentaylor347]

Hi, I came across your video recently and I just wanted to say a big ole THANK YOU!!! Great advice! I finished FNP school in December and wanted to take the exam ASAP. I scheduled it for January and had some stuff going on so I rescheduled it to the Feb 2nd-snowstorm hit and everything shut down. Rescheduled it to Feb 4th and passed!!!!!! I don’t have Facebook and never heard about Latrina Walden until you mentioned her. I loved her videos and they were super helpful in passing the exam. I went through most of the Leik book, def went over all of the exam tips and clinical pearls-wrote those out, and went over that two days before the exam. I practiced questions from Leik, PSI, and Hollier certification question book. I work full-time and part time schedule but closer to the exam I only worked part time. **All the new grads out there you got this!! I took the exam eight months pregnant. I am due next month really wanted to pass before I gave birth because it’s gonna be a busy few months ahead with my toddler and a newborn. Thanks again, God Bless. DT FNP-C

[@TheHomemadeFarm]

Did you just do the crash course??

[@dendentaylor347]

Hollier is great-I tried doing her APEA review course for $375 but I didn’t find it to be exam specific. Good information but not what I needed at the time. So I used her certification questions book, along with Liek and and Latrina walden crash course.

[@brittanymaes2642]

Congrats! I just finished school a few weeks ago. Planning to take the AANP in October or early November. I am having trouble in making a plan to study...I get overwhelmed with all that needs to be covered. If you could post a picture of your calendar to give a guide on how you broke it down, that would be greatly appreciated! Congrats once again!

[@petluv214]

Nice video thank you.

[@carlcounts1]

Thank you!

[@NurseAggz]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@karlagutierrez8809]

Hi! Thank you for your video esp the words of encouragement. :) I feel better now that I have been using Leik too esp I am about to take the test soon. Btw, what is the passing score for the PSI exam? I cant find it anywhere in the website. :(

[@yelidafishkind1976]

Hi , thank you for your informative video. I am reading the Leik book, doing its online questions and watching the Hollier videos. Would you recommend buying board vitals in addition or not necessary?

[@nursepractitionerdiaries2213]

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your helpful tips. Did you do the walden videos with voiceover & without the slides? I am looking into that one. Thanks again

[@NurseAggz]

Thank you! I watch the one with slides. ☺️

[@barbaranovak4496]

I am between Walden and Michelle, I graduated last year and I need to get a full refresh course.

[@9pmalways]

lmao the barkely is cute but bye thing really got me for some reason. but in all seriousness, reassuring to know that im better off w/o barkley, since even the practice exam book is more expensive than any other review book.

[@erikasienes]

Is the Leiks 2nd edition book still up to date to review, or do I need to newest one?

[@user-et1cu7qg7n]

QUESTION: I listened to another opinion regarding the AANP exam. Would you agree that students do NOT need to memorize specific lab values since the values are given already when taking the exam? I do not want to commit to memory anything that is not essential.

[@loner6731]

I hope you doing good

[@daniemarie2852]

You tha GOAT! Lol. 🙌🏾🤞🏾

[@sachidelmarmol2138]

Congratulations! I will be taking boards May 2021 and was wondering if you found the Leik book outdated since it was published in 2013. Does AANP go by ACC/ AHA 2017 HTN guidelines, JNC8, both? Just trying to decide if I should buy the 3rd edition or hold out to see if something new comes out??

[@denikam6171]

There's a new fourth edition that was published in January 2021 with digital access

[@Chel_olu]

Hey congrats Aggz! 🎉 I just took Nclex and was wondering if FNP boards exam is similar to Nclex adaptive testing format? Also, would u say the questions were easier or harder or more vague than the ones you studied? Do you recommend any study apps or websites for FNP style questions?

[@NurseAggz]

Congrats to you. No, there are two versions of the FNP exam. You must complete all 150 questions. The questions were similar to the ones I studied. The book by the author Leik has app with practice questions. Also FNP mastery app

[@Chel_olu]

NurseAggz Ok thanks for this info! ❤️

[@ckc11288]

Congratulations! I am a Acute Care NP student. Is the Walden review for FNP students only?

[@NurseAggz]

i think FNP and AGNP

[@Kl-gz4ng]

Hi. Did you find that practice questions from Leik book are similar to aanp board questions? Thanks

[@NurseAggz]

Yes, back when I took it in 2020

[@yazmin444]

Hello can I ask you if the name of the course is The Bronze Clinical Crash review? I really need the help.thank you kindly.

[@NurseAggz]

Yes. I put the link in the description box. It’s under latrina Walden

[@botu8999]

Thank you! Did you do questions only from Leiks? If not, can you share where you did practice question? Please?

[@botu8999]

@william shore does he have a website, link or book?

[@botu8999]

@william shore thank you, but just want to know what kind of service he offers, review and question bank? Just tell me that so I can contact him if he offers what I need. Thanks

[@jennylopez2405]

Did you put base the PSI FNP Version 2 or 3?

[@jennylopez2405]

I meant, purchase.

[@user-df4wr7qp2d]

what school did you go to

[@nik3466]

Would you recommend Leik and Latrina together? Or read Leik in detail first and then following up with Latrina?

[@NurseAggz]

Yup I would! Read leik first focusing on the pearls at the end of the chapter then do latrina!

[@nik3466]

@@NurseAggz sounds great! Thank you.

[@jammywalters7212]

I tried Fitzgerald, youtube, Barkley and associates and some others and still failed 4 attempt. I feel so frustrated don't know what to do anymore...

How many hours did you study per day would you say?

[@NurseAggz]

That’s a great question. I’d say I studied about 5 hours a day
