Has anyone written their COHN Certification exam? How was it? Do you recommend going for it/did it increase your earning power?

I am planning to take the test this October as well.
Can't find anyone who can tell me much.
Not sure if I should take the COHN or COHN-S.
I qualify for both but unsure of which is best
Anyone out there with any recommendations???

The test is based on the highest basic nursing program you completed. To take the COHN-S you must have completed at least a Bachelor's Degree. It does not reflect your actual duties. The portion most often failed by all candidates is the direct care questions.

Thank you Sharon. Good information and I will definitely study the direct care areas.
