Hi! I'm studying for the Vascular access cerification test in June. I have the study guide but I'm getting nervous for the test! Does anyone have a tips on the test or know of other text I should study? Thanks!
Infusion Nurses Society, Core Curriculum for Infusion Nursing, may help some. There are parts you won't need for the VA-BC but it's another source. I also bought some DVD/CDs from INS and listened to them every time I was in the car. Amazingly, my kids were not amused. I took the VA-BC in June and then the CRNI that fall. I figured, I'm already in the study mode, why not? Think about it, I'm glad I did! Good luck! I hope you do well.

I agree with Debbie, the INS DVD is a good source. If you are focused on vascular access, reading current material, you will have no fears. Luck is for those who are not prepared, you will do fine.
