Adult CNS-EXAM

[ER823]

Hello all.

I completed my MSN program in december, and sat for the Adult CNS exam yesterday... and i FAILED! such an embarrassment, humiliation, failure, I was so sure of myself and this test... everyone I talked to said not to worry, no need to really study. I do not know what went wrong, some of the questions were so vague, I could not even eliminate to the top 2 choices.... I did not do the online review course, regretting it now, all I did was read through a book I bought online and some material from my MSN program... I scored low in research, which boggles my mind since i was a research assistant and published in a few journals!!

so now i am having no luck contacting the ANCC regarding the new test blueprint. not to sure which test I have to take now!

anyone else in this desperate situation??? the test blueprint changes on April 5, 2011.... oh gosh, tears are starting again :crying2:

so disappointed and lost right now

I passed the AACN -CCNS exam this past spring and while it was challenging I felt the resources I used prepared me adequately. I used the CCNS review DVDs offered by AACN-these were helpful as there was also powerpoints which you could print off the slides. I also used CCNS review audio CD's that were by a national educational review company-ok but I would get distracted very easily. A few days before my exam I got nervous that I needed to study more and purchased the mometrix e-edition-it was a very nice review. If anyone is looking to purchase any of these resources I suggest looking on ebay or amazon they seem to be a little cheaper than directly from the companies.
