taken boards max. times and failed

WHEW! That was exhausting!
Back to the original post, yes, what school do you go to? Did you go to any test prep courses? What were your grades in school? Do you just have test anxiety? Maybe you need to take test taking class. There is a science to the help they can provide.

Argh! How many times have you taken the boards and what did you study from? That is a fear we all share. My first language isn't english and I have a hard time with tests. So I am fearing that myself. Hope you find a cure. Keep us posted.

Play nice time is in effect here.

We ask that you stick to what the op was asking and not personally attack one other. This does not help them with their problem and that is why they came here in the first place.

Thanks for your understanding on this.

Adult supervision!

The OP seems to have left before getting answers to her questions.....perhaps a contributing factor?

I know this is an old post, but I myself have now failed the CRNA boards twice (got a 445 last time, ouch!). Never thought it would happen in a million years. The word is you get eight attempts in 2 years and if are not successful you must re-complete an accredited anesthesia program start to finish. I truly wish this were not the case. However, if you graduated more than 2 years ago I believe you are "grandfathered" into the old rule of unlimited attempts.

I think that if you have not been able to pass the test after the allotted times, that, I'm so sorry, maybe you should look for another career. There are so many careers in nursing, you don't have to do anesthesia.
What if you were to pass and you start your practice and (HEAVEN FORBIT) someone dies. I really don't think you could live with yourself. I have made minor mistakes myself, and I was traumatized. I know you really want to do this, but what we want and what is best is not always the same. I'm sorry.
