Re: Board Certification for Med/Surg

Thanks for the info --- I am taking this test on June 4th and am getting nervous not sure what to study etc. I have a review book, but sometimes, after working all day, and overtime, it is so difficult to bring myself to study. I am trying to have faith that i know more than I think I do, but . . .

thanks again!

(Our hospital will reimburse the cost of the exam if you pass.) We don't get any extra benefits for being certified, but I wanted to prove to myself I could do it and I'm glad I did.

If you are certified through AMSN, then all you have to do is go online if you're a member and get the free CE's. I got my CMSRN in May '08 and already have my 150 credits
