    Good morning! 

    I passed my NCSN exam in November and want to continue learning. Has anyone taken the exam to become a CPN? I ordered the study materials to get started, but wondered if there was anyone out there like me. I figure the certifications go hand in hand, so I might as well give it a try. It would be nice to have someone to study with.

    I wrote the Pediatric Certification Review book long before I ever got into school nursing and wrote the School Nurse Certification Review. The newest edition of the Pediatric review (5th 2023) by Jakubik and Selekman has some of the same content as for the NCSN exam. My co-author is the owner of NurseBuilders, that produces the NCSN materials. She also produces all the materials for the CPN exam
