Tncc

With the advent of the 6th edition (May 08) there are now 3 different scenarios the instructor can pick from to give you.

Can someone who has taken this course take a look at this practice test and let me know if it is in fact similiar to the one given. I am taking the course next week and want to know what to expect. i took this practive test and did not do so hot so now i am a bit concerned, thanks

Hi pdaddy,

I took and passed TNCC yesterday. Checked the seabird site and looked at practice test. The questions are worded differently than the actual exam, but the answer choices are right on. Advice; know what each of those answer choices are. Most importantly, read the book. There were no tricks, the test came right from the book and the lectures. Remember primary and secondary assessments, and know the material in the book. Each chapter begins with a brief review of A&P for the subject. If you are weak in that area, review the patho for it. BTW, I am not an ED nurse yet. Due to the nursing job shortage here in New England, I thought I would educate myself in an effort to help make myself more marketable. I was the only non-ED nurse out of 10 students.
Good luck and READ THE BOOK!!!

Great job, Maura!! I'm taking it this weekend (tomorrow and Sunday). You beat me to it! The advice from my RN coworker peeps was essentially the same -- know the primary and secondary survey steps like the back of your hand!
