Co-Author, Initiating and Sustaining the Clinical Nurse Leader Role: A Practical Guide
The first and only resource of its kind, this review guide to the CNL certification exam stems directly from Dr. King's classroom, where she proposes students to take the exam and has achieved a 100% pass rate.
The guide covers all aspects of the test, including basic test-taking skills, how to understand exam questions, multiple exam questions with answers and rationales, and content review of information derived from the AACN exam guide. The authors, who are noted CNL educators and practitioners, cover concepts of horizontal leadership, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration skills, and health care advocacy. They address care management, team coordination, illness/disease management, health promotion and disease prevention management, and advanced clinical assessment. The differences between health systems and the specific microsystems in which CNLs work are explored. The book also encompasses health care finance, economics, policy, informatics, ethics, and evidence-based practice as it is covered on the test. The material is presented in easily digestible sections that correspond to specific areas of the AACN exam guide. Multiple vignettes and unfolding case studies reinforce concepts. Also included is a sample test and eBook for test-taking practice.

Clinical Nurse Leader Certification Review PDF
While I feel that the content of this book is helpful in preparing for the CNL exam and the resources listed at the end of chapters are also a great supplemental source of information, the 200+ sample questions at the end need some serious editing. I found several mistakes in the questions where the answer was blatantly wrong. This created a great deal of confusion for me as I was trying to prepare for the exam, as I wanted to trust in the information and the quality of the questions, but when the definition for a word is incorrect, or a process is described in the answer as something completely different from the definition earlier in the book, that is disconcerting. Hopefully the authors will correct the mistakes and put out a new edition.By Elizabeth
This book was an ideal overview to help me prepare for and pass my certification exam on the first attempt. Its streamlined yet comprehensive overview of key concepts allowed me to use it as a primary study tool. However---the practice questions.... As an experienced item writer for licensure exams and textbooks, I was appalled at the crude, inconsistent structure and editorial style of the questions. Having said that, the concepts covered in the questions were spot on and did contribute to my success.By River North
