PCCN Exam References
|
|
|
The following are recommended references for the PCCN certification exam. The PCCN exam is based within the framework of the Synergy Model. Daily care of patients has provided most nurses with a large knowledge base in Professional Caring and Ethical Practice. Any up-to-date critical care nursing text has chapters that address the issues of advocacy/moral agency, caring practices, collaboration, facilitator of learning, response to diversity, clinical inquiry and systems thinking. Following are examples of references that you may find helpful in studying for the PCCN exam.
