Co-Published with the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) to provide you with invaluable guidance for acing your Adult-Gerontology CNS exam!
This comprehensive review manual provides the ultimate resource for either the AACN Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist Wellness Through Acute Care (ACCNS-AG) or the ANCC Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist (AGCNS-BC) certification exam.
