[NPInfo] Re: [ACC-Circle] Fwd: Wall Street Journal DNP article

[suernfnp at iwon.com]

Uphold & Graham (2003) is on the reference list for the ANCC board exams. So is Fenstermacher & Hudson (2004). These can be used as a guideline base, and a lot of NPs and docs use the Up To Date series for more current information. As I look through the list of ANCC approved references, many seem to be from 2000 to 2004. I hope we'll be getting new editions soon.

Speaking of NP texts....What are people using for Guidelines?  I still love<br>Uphold and Graham but am embarrassed to be writing 2003 as my guideline when<br>asked for 4np forms, etc....I also still use Hawkins for GYN.  I am going to<br>purchase some for the workplace as needed in NY.  Would love some input.  NY<br>has a long list of approved texts but I would love some comments.
